48 Chorus Novæ Jerusalem

Choirs of New Jerusalem! To sweet new strains attune your theme; The while we keep, from care releas'd, With sober joy our Paschal Feast:

When, Who spake the Dragon's doom, Rose, Victor-Lion, from the Tomb: That while with living voice He cries, The dead of other years might rise.

Engorg'd in former years, their prey Must Death and Hell restore to-day: And many a captive soul, set free, With leaves captivity.
