'''Verset 7
:Nous mangeons pour notre bien-être
:La juste galette de Pâques,
:Le vieux levain ne doit pas
:Être associé à la parole de grâce,
:Christ sera notre nourriture
:Et lui seul rassasiera notre âme.
:Le croyant ne veut pas d'autre vie.
:Alléluia !
 
{{Text|English}}
''' Verse 1
:Christ Jesus lay in death’s strong bands,
:For our offenses given;
:But now at God’s right hand He stands,
:And brings us life from Heaven.
:Wherefore let us joyful be,
:And sing to God right thankfully
:Loud songs of Alleluia! Alleluia!
''' Verse 2
:No son of man could conquer Death,
:Such mischief sin had wrought us,
:For innocence dwelt not on earth,
:And therefore Death had brought us
:Into thralldom from of old
:And ever grew more strong and bold
:And kept us in his bondage. Alleluia!
''' Verse 3
:But Jesus Christ, God’s only Son,
:To our low state descended,
:The cause of Death He has undone,
:His power forever ended,
:Ruined all his right and claim
:And left him nothing but the name,
:His sting is lost forever. Alleluia!
''' Verse 4
:It was a strange and dreadful strife
:When life and death contended;
:The victory remained with life;
:The reign of death was ended.
:Stripped of power, no more it reigns,
:An empty form alone remains
:Death’s sting is lost forever! Alleluia!
''' Verse 5
:Here the true Paschal Lamb we see,
:Whom God so freely gave us;
:He died on the accursed tree—
:So strong His love!—to save us.
:See, His blood doth mark our door;
:Faith points to it, Death passes over,
:And Satan cannot harm us. Alleluia!
''' Verse 6
:So let us keep the festival
:Where to the Lord invites us;
:Christ is Himself the joy of all,
:The Sun that warms and lights us.
:By His grace He doth impart
:Eternal sunshine to the heart;
:The night of sin is ended! Alleluia!
''' Verse 7
:Then let us feast this Easter day
:On the true Bread of Heaven;
:The Word of grace hath purged away
:The old and wicked leaven.
:Christ alone our souls will feed;
:He is our Meat and Drink indeed;
:Faith lives upon no other! Alleluia!
