 | 1. Ye choirs of new Jerusalem,/ To sweet new strains attune your theme;/ The while we keep, from care released,/ With sober joy our Paschal feast: 2. When Christ, unconquer'd Lion, first/ The dragon's chains by rising burst:/ And while with living voice he cries,/ The dead of other ages rise. 3. Engorged in former years, their prey/ Must death and hell restore to-day:/ And many a captive soul, set free,/ With Jesus leaves captivity. 4. Right gloriously he triumphs now,/ Worthy to whom should all things bow;/ And joining heaven and earth again,/ Links in one commonweal the twain. 5. And we, as these his deeds we sing,/ His suppliant soldiers, pray our King,/ That in his palace, bright and vast,/ We may keep watch and ward at last. 6. Long as unending ages run,/ To God the Father, laud be done:/ To God the Son, our equal praise,/ And God the Holy Ghost, we raise./ Amen. Words: Fulbert of Chartres. Music: Jeremiah Clark.
