Lyrics:

Christians, now offer thankful praise! The Paschal Lamb redeems the sheep. Christ, who is sinless, reconciles sinners, to the Father. Death and life fiercely contended; Christ, who died, now lives immortal. Tell us, O Mary, what did you see? "I saw the tomb of the living Christ" (Alleluia). The glory of his resurrection. Angels were there giving witness, empty shroud also gave witness. Christ, my hope truly is risen now. He goes before us to Galilee (Alleluia). Christ indeed from death is risen. Therefore our new life obtaining. Show us your mercy, Victor King (Alleluia)! You will reign as King for ever. Alleluia!
