English translation by Catherine Winkworth, 1855:
To the supper of the Lord,
Gladly we will come today,
The word of peace is now restored,
The old leaven is put away;
Christ will be our food alone,
Faith no life but His doth own.
Hallelujah.
English translation by Richard Massie, 1854:
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!
