Holy Lamb of God.
To the hillside now you go,
With your cross, your feet so slow,
Days ago they glorified your name.
Now the mocking, now the shame,
No one dares to call your name.
Hell is celebrating victory.
On the cross they lift you high,
Some will jeer and some will cry,
Few have stayed to see you in your pain.
‘It is finished,’ now you cry,
Drop your head and then you die.
Then the burning Sun hides from the sky.
In the tomb so cold you lie.
One day, two days, then the cry,
‘Christ is risen, Jesus is alive!’
To the women you appear,
Then the men, then hundreds more,
‘Christ is risen, Jesus is alive!’
