1 Now lives the Lamb of God,
our Passover, the Christ,
who once with nails and wood
for us was sacrificed:
Come keep the feast, the anthem sing
that Christ indeed is Lord and king!
2 Now risen from the dead
Christ never dies again;
in us, with Christ as head,
sin never more shall reign:
Come keep the feast ...
3 In Adam all must die,
forlorn and unforgiven;
in Christ we come alive,
the second Man from heaven.
Come keep the feast ...
4 Give praise to God alone
who life from death can bring;
whose mighty power can turn
our winter into spring:
Come keep the feast ...
