EASTER CAROLS.
I.
CHRIST is risen! Christ is risen!
Conquered Death and all His foes!
Crucified and dead and buried,
Very Man as Man He rose.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
He for us the Cross endured,
And the bitter shame despising
Life, immortal Life secured.
Conquered Death and all His foes!
Crucified and dead and buried,
Very Man as Man He rose.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
He for us the Cross endured,
And the bitter shame despising
Life, immortal Life secured.
Very God He stooped to suffer
Keenest sorrows, sharpest pains;
Very Man enthroned in glory
Now as King of Kings lie reigns.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Blessed they who follow on;
Who by rack or sword or prison
Share the crown that lie hath won.
Keenest sorrows, sharpest pains;
Very Man enthroned in glory
Now as King of Kings lie reigns.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Blessed they who follow on;
Who by rack or sword or prison
Share the crown that lie hath won.
Blessed they the saints and martyrs
Foremost in the Church's van,
Virgin souls of maid and matron,
Babe and youth and hoary man.
Foremost in the Church's van,
Virgin souls of maid and matron,
