Since Christ our Passover is slain

English

Primary Scripture: Romans 6:9-11

Verse 1

Since Christ our passover is slain, A sacrifice for all; Let all, with thankful hearts, agree To keep the festival:

Verse 2

Not with the leaven, as of old, Of sin and malice fed; But with unfeign'd sincerity, And truth's unleaven'd bread.

Verse 3

Christ being rais'd by Pow'r Divine, And rescu'd from the grave, Shall die no more, death shall on him No more dominion have.

Verse 4

For that he died, 'twas for our sins He once vouchsaf'd to die: But that he lives, he lives to God, For all eternity.

Verse 5

So count yourselves as dead to sin, But graciously restor'd, And made, henceforth, alive to God, Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
