Hallelujah! 3 So let us keep the festival our Lord himself invites us; Christ is the Lamb, the joy of all, the sun that warms and lights us; through the glory of his grace all darkness must today give place, the night of sin is ended. Hallelujah! 4 Then let us feast this holy day on the true bread of heaven. The word of grace has purged away the old and wicked leaven. Christ alone our souls can feed, he is our food and drink indeed, faith lives upon no other. Hallelujah!
