The feast of Easter was enjoined

Verse 1

The Feast of Easter was enjoin'd To keep our Saviour Christ in mind; He was our great Passover slain, Who once was dead but lives again.

Verse 2

That Paschal Lamb the Jews did eat, Pre-figur'd Christ our Lord complete! The whole of what it typified, Was all complete when Jesus died.

Verse 3

We also have a Paschal Lamb, Since Christ, our great Passover came; He died to be our sacrifice, And rose that we should also rise.

Verse 4

Let us agree with one accord, To keep this feast unto the Lord! But not in malice or deceit For such the Lord will ever hate.

Verse 5

To purge the heart from base desire! The keeping of this feast requires-- To love the Lord our living head, Is feasting on unleaven'd bread.
