Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed, paschal victim, paschal bread; with sincerity and love eat we manna from above. 3 Mighty victim from the sky, pow'rs of hell beneath thee lie; death is conquered in the fight, thou hast brought us life and light: hymns of glory and of praise, risen Lord, to thee we raise; holy Father, praise to thee, with the Spirit, ever be.

See, his blood now marks our door; faith points to it, death passes o'er, and Satan cannot harm us. Alleluia! 4 So let us keep the festival to which the Lord invites us. Christ is himself the joy of all, the sun that warms and lights us. Now his grace to us imparts eternal sunshine to our hearts; the night of sin is ended.

Refrain: Look at Him dying, Bleeding for thee; Though thou hast slighted Him often, Still, sinner, He’s pleading for thee. 2 Down in Gethsemane’s garden, Behold Him in agony there, Guilt of the world laid upon Him, To Calvary’s summit to bear; Yet there is none that can help Him— Must He thus suffer alone, Innocent stand for the guilty, And die for their sins to atone? [Refrain] 3 See Him led forth as a captive, His presence the multitude scorns; See them array Him in purple, And cruelly crown Him with thorns, Lead Him outside of the city, Nail Him on Calvary’s tree; Look on Him there, guilty sinner, He’s bleeding and dying for thee.
