At the Lamb's High Feast

Author: Robert Campbell, 1814-1868 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 186 hymnals First Line: At the Lamb's high feast we sing Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing Praise to our victorious King, He has washed us in the tide Flowing from his open side; Praise we him, whose love divine Gives his sacred Blood for wine, Gives his Body for the feast, Christ the victim, Christ the priest. 2 Where the Paschal blood is poured, Death's dark angel sheathes his sword; Israel's hosts triumphant go Through the wave that drowns the foe. Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed, Paschal victim, Paschal bread; With sincerity and love Eat we manna from above. 3 Easter triumph, Easter joy, Sin alone can this destroy; From sin's pow'r do thou set free Souls newborn, O Lord, in thee. Hymns of glory, songs of praise, Father, unto thee we raise: Risen Lord, all praise to thee With the Spirit ever be. Topics: Seasonal Music Easter Used With Tune: SALZBURG
