Now at the Lamb's royal feast Ad regias Agni dapes
Tr. Rev. E. Caswall Nicola. A. Montani
Allegro moderato
1.
Now at the Lamb's royal feast, In robes of saintly white, we sing, Thro' the Red Sea in safety brought By Jesus our immortal King.
O depth of love! For us He drains The chalice of His agony; For us a Victim on the Cross He meekly lays Him down to die.
2.
And as th'avenging Angel pa.s.s'd Of old the blood be-sprinkled door; As the cleft sea a pa.s.sage gave, Then closed to whelm th'Egyptians o're; So Christ, our Paschal Sacrifice, Has brought us safe all perils thro', While for unleavened bread He asks, But heart sincere and purpose true.
3.
Hail, purest Victim Heav'n could find The pow'rs of h.e.l.l to overthrow!
Who didst the bonds of Death unbind Who dost the prize of Life bestow.
Hail, victor Christ! Hail, risen King!
To Thee alone belongs the crown; Who has at the heav'nly gates unbarred, And cast the Prince of darkness down.
4.
O Jesus! From the death of sin Keep us, we pray; so shalt Thou be The everlasting Paschal joy Of all the souls newborn in Thee; To G.o.d the Father, with the Son Who from the grave immortal rose, And Thee, O Paraclete be praise, While age on endless ages flows.

EASTERTIDE
Christ the Lord is risen today Victimae Paschali Laudes
Translated by Miss Leeson Nicola A. Montani
Allegro Modto
1.
Christ the Lord is ris'n today; Christians, haste your vows to pay; Offer ye your praises meet At the Paschal Victim's feet; For the sheep the Lamb hath bled, Sinless in the sinner's stead, Christ the Lord is ris'n on high; Now He lives, no more to die.
2.
Christ the Victim undefiled, Man to G.o.d hath reconciled, When in strange and awful strife Met together death and life; Christians, on this happy day Haste with joy your vows to pay; Christ the Lord is ris'n on high; Now He lives, no more to die.
