Paschal Octave at Lauds

Lauds in Easter Week –

4. Hell’s pains are loosed, and tears are fled;
Captivity is captive led;
The Angel, crowned with light, hath said,
The Lord is risen from the dead.

6. We pray thee, King with glory decked,
In this our Paschal joy, protect
From all that death would fain effect
Thy ransomed flock, thine own elect.

~Office Hymn in the Pascal Octave
