Fulbert of Chartres • Robert Campbell • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 3:14-15

Verse 1

Sing, choirs of new Jerusalem, your sweetest notes employ, your sweetest notes employ the paschal victory to hymn in songs of holy joy, in songs of holy joy, in songs of holy joy!

Verse 2

For Judah's Lion burst his chains and crushed the serpent's head, and crushed the serpent's head; Christ cries aloud through death's domains to wake th'imprisoned dead, to wake th'imprisoned dead, to wake th'imprisoned dead.

Verse 3

Triumphant in his glory now-- to him all pow'r is giv'n, to him all pow'r is giv'n; to him in one communion bow all saints in earth and heav'n, all saints in earth and heav'n, all saints in earth and heav'n.

Verse 4

All glory to the Father be, all glory to the Son, all glory to the Son, all glory to the Spirit be while endless ages run, while endless ages run, while endless ages run.
