Christ once was sacrificed

Music: SCHONSTER HERR JESU (Silesian Folk Song)

1 Christ once was sacrificed,
Passover Lamb for us,
so let us keep the Feast this day;
purged from all stain of sin,
filled with his truth and love,
let us to Christ all homage pay.

2 Christ has been raised from death,
never to die again;
death has no power to mock his word.
We too have died to sin
to live to God alone,
raised up in Jesus Christ our Lord.

3 Christ has been raised to life,
Firstfruits of all the dead;
so all who sleep in death are raised.
Though Adam's family die
Christ's family comes alive;
for this new life his name be praised!

4 To God the Father, praise!
Praise Jesus Christ the Son!
Praise to the Spirit changelessly!
Glory to God be given
as it has ever been,
glory that evermore shall be!
