Eternal King of realms on high, Creator of the heaven's span, Who with the Father equally Didst reign before the worlds began: |
| 2 |
Anon, when Satan's envious will Had warped our nature, Thou didst take This mortal flesh, with sov'reign skill, The form Thou madest to remake. |
| 3 |
Thou camest from a Virgin's womb; A grave new sealed was once Thy bed; Thou bid'st us now from out the tomb Rise with Thy rising from the dead. |
| 4 |
O Jesus, Paschal joy of minds, Give us heart's rest throughout the years; Let not the souls Thy love doth raise From sin's enslavement ever fear. |
| 5 |
Eternal glory be to Thee, O Father, with the Paraclete, And to Thy resurrected Son, Who all in three do rule as One. |
