Sequence for Easter

Verse 1

Christians, to the paschal victim offer your thankful praises -- a lamb the sheep redeeming, Christ, who only is sinless, reconciling sinners to the Father. Death and life have contended in that combat stupendous; the prince of life, who died, reigns immortal.

Verse 2

Speak, Mary, declaring what you saw when wayfaring. "The tomb of Christ, who is living, the glory of Jesus' resurrection; bright angels attesting, the shroud and napkin resting. My Lord, my hope, is arisen; to Galilee he will go before you."

Verse 3

Christ indeed from death is risen, our new life obtaining. Have mercy, victor King, ever reigning! Amen.
