Alleluia, we in worship join with them. 4 Paschal Lamb, thine offering, finished once for all when thou wast slain, in its fullness undiminished shall forevermore remain, alleluia, Cleansing us from every stain. 5 Life-imparting heavenly Manna, stricken Rock with streaming side, heaven and earth with loud hosanna worship thee, the Lamb who died, alleluia, risen, ascended, glorified!
