Author: Robert Campbell, 1814-1868 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #535 (2011) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing
Praise to our victorious King,
Who hath washed us in the tide
Flowing from His pierced side;
2 Praise we Him, whose love divine
Gives His sacred blood for wine,
Gives His Body for the feast,
Christ the victim, Christ the priest.
3 Where the paschal blood is poured,
Death's dark angel sheathes his sword;
Israel's hosts triumphant go
Through the wave that drowns the foe.
4 Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed,
Paschal victim, paschal bread;
With sincerity and love
Eat we manna from above.
5 Mighty victim from the sky,
Hell's fierce powers beneath Thee lie;
Thou hast conquered in the fight,
Thou hast brought us life and light;
6 Now no more can death appall;
Now no more the grave enthrall;
Thou hast opened paradise,
And in Thee Thy saints shall rise.
