angels twain, I beheld the glory bright of the rising Lord of light; Christ my hope is risen again; now he lives, and lives to reign.' Christ, who once for sinners bled, Now the first born from the dead, Throned in endless might and power, Lives and reigns forevermore. Hail, eternal Hope on high! Hail, Thou King of victory! Hail, Thou Prince of life adored! Help and save us, gracious Lord. Νotes External links Victimae paschali laudes from both Codex Las Huelgas (c. 1300–25) and Missale Romanum (1570) (PDF format).
