469. Now lives the Lamb of God

Author: David Mowbray

Now lives the lamb of God,
our Passover, the Christ,
who once with nails and wood
for us was sacrificed:

Come, keep the feast,
the anthem sing
that Christ indeed
is Lord and King!

2. Now risen from the dead,
Christ never dies again;
in us, with Christ as head,
sin nevermore shall reign:

3. In Adam all men die,
forlorn and unforgiven;
in Christ all come alive,
the second Man from heaven.

4. Give praise to God alone
who life from death can bring;
whose mighty power can turn
the winter into spring:
