English text

The Lord is my strength and my song, and is become my salvation.
I shall not die but live and declare the works of God.

O Lord of all, with us abide,
In this our joyful Eastertide,
From ev’ry weapon death can wield
Thine own redeemed forever shield.

All praise be Thine, O risen Lord,
From death to endless life restored,
All praise to God the Father be,
And Holy Ghost eternally.

Amen.
