English translation by Catherine Winkworth, 1855:
Now our Paschal Lamb is He,
And by Him alone we live,
Who to death upon the tree,
For our sake Himself did give.
Faith His blood strikes on our door,
Death dares never harm us more.
Hallelujah.
English translation by Richard Massie, 1854:
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 o'er,
And Satan cannot harm us.
Alleluia!
