THE LAMB'S HIGH BANQUET CALLED TO SHARE

[1]
The Lamb's high banquet called to share,
arrayed in garments white and fair,
the Red Sea past, we now would sing
to Jesus our triumphant king.

[2]
Upon the altar of the cross
his body has redeemed our loss;
and, tasting of his precious blood,
in him we live anew to God.

[3]
Now Christ our Passover is slain,
the Lamb of God without a stain;
his flesh, the true unleavened bread,
for us is freely offerèd.

[4]
Christ rises conqueror from the grave,
from death returning, strong to save;
with his right hand the tyrant chains,
and paradise for man regains.

[5]
All praise be yours, O risen Lord,
from death to endless life restored;
all praise to God the Father be
and Holy Ghost eternally.
