Primary Scripture: Exodus 12:1-14

Lord, enthroned in heav'nly splendor, first-begotten from the dead, Thou alone, our strong Defender, liftest up Thy people's head. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Jesus, true and living Bread!

Verse 2

Prince of Life, for us Thou livest, by Thy body souls are healed; Prince of Peace, Thy peace Thou givest, by Thy blood is pardon sealed. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Word of God in flesh revealed.

Verse 3

Paschal Lamb! Thine off'ring finished once for all when Thou wast slain, in its fullness undiminished shall forevermore remain. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Cleansing souls from every stain.

Verse 4

Great High Priest of our profession, thro' the veil Thou ent'redst in; by Thy mighty intercession grace and mercy Thou dost win. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Only sacrifice for sin.

Life-imparting heav'nly Manna, stricken Rock, with streaming side, heav'n and earth with loud hosanna worship Thee, the Lamb who died. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Ris'n, ascended, glorified!
