Hymns of the Lutheran Church

141 At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing

1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing Praise to our victorious King, Who has washed us in the tide Flowing from his pierced side. Alleluia! 2 Mighty Victim from the sky, Hell's fierce pow'rs beneath you lie; You have conquered in the fight, You have brought us life and light. Alleluia! 3 Now no more can death appall, Now no more the grave enthrall; You have opened paradise, And your saints in you shall rise. Alleluia! 4 Easter triumph, Easter joy! This alone can sin destroy; From sin's pow'r, Lord, set us free, New-born souls in you to be. Alleluia! 5 Father, who the crown shall give, Savior, by whose death we live, Spirit, guide through all our days, Three in One, your name we praise. Alleluia!
