Lyrics:

1. Christians, praise the paschal victim! Offer thankful sacrifice!

2. Christ the Lamb has saved the sheep, Christ the just one paid the price. Reconciling sinners to the Father.

3. Death and life fought bitterly for this wondrous victory; The Lord of life who died reigns glorified!

4. O Mary, come and say what you saw at break of day.

5. "The empty tomb of my living Lord! I saw Christ Jesus risen and adored!"

6. Bright angels testified, shroud and grave clothes side by side!

7. "Yes, Christ my hope rose gloriously. He goes before you into Galilee."

8. Share the good news, sing joyfully: His death is victory! Lord Jesus, Victor King, show us mercy.
