Christians to the paschal victim offer your thankful praises--- a lamb the sheep redeeming, Christ, who only is sinless, reconciling sinners to the Father. Death and life have contended in that combat stupendous; the prince of life, who died, reigns immortal. ("Christians, to the Paschal Victim" - Text: attr. Wipo of Burgundy, d.c. 1050; tr. composite)
