beatrice_otter: Dali's Christ of St. John of the Cross (St. John of the Cross)
At the Lamb's high feast we sing,
Praise to our victorious King,
Who hath washed us in the tide
Flowing from his piercèd side
Allelluia

Praise we Him, Whose love divine
Gives His sacred blood for wine,
Gives His body for the feast,
Love the victim, love the priest
Allelluia

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.
Allelluia

Christ, the Lamb, whose blood was shed,
Paschal victim, paschal bread;
With sincerity and love
Eat we manna from above.
Allelluia

Mighty victim from the sky,
Powers of hell beneath Thee lie;
Death is conquered in the fight;
Thou hast brought us life and light;
Allelluia

Paschal triumph, paschal joy,
Only sin can this destroy;
From sin's death, Lord, set us free,
Newborn souls in you to be
Allelluia
