Most Glorious Lord of Life

Most glo­ri­ous Lord of life

that on this day

Didst make Thy tri­umph ov­er death and sin

And hav­ing har­rowed hell

didst bring away

Captivity thence cap­tive

us to win.

This joy­ous day

dear Lord

with joy be­gin

And grant that we may for whom Thou didst die

Being with Thy dear blood clean washed from sin

May live for­ev­er in fe­li­ci­ty.

And that Thy love we weigh­ing wor­thi­ly

May likew­ise love Thee for the same again;

And for Thy sake

that all like dear didst buy

With love may one ano­ther en­ter­tain.

So let us love

dear Love

like as we ought;

Love is the les­son which the Lord us taught.
