OHT Incipit:  

Christ, the Lord, is risen today; Alleluia!
Christians, haste your vows to pay; Alleluia!
Offer ye your praises meet, Alleluia!
At the Paschal Victim's feet. Alleluia!

For the sheep the Lamb hath bled, Alleluia!
Sinless in the sinner's stead; Alleluia!
Christ is risen, today we cry; Alleluia!
Now he lives no more to die. Alleluia!

Christ the Victim undefiled, Alleluia!
God and man hath reconciled; Alleluia!
Whilst in strange and awful strife, Alleluia!
Met together Death and Life. Alleluia!

Christians, on this happy day, Alleluia!
Haste with joy your vows to pay; Alleluia!
Christ is risen, today we cry; Alleluia!
Now he lives no more to die. Alleluia!

Christ who once for sinners bled, Alleluia!
Now the first-born from the dead, Alleluia!
Throned in endless might and power, Alleluia!
Lives and reigns forevermore. Alleluia!

Hail, Eternal Hope on high! Alleluia!
Hail, thou King of Victory! Alleluia!
Hail, thou Prince of Life adored! Alleluia!
Help and save us, gracious Lord. Alleluia!
