Most glorious Lord of lyfe that on this day
    Didst make thy triumph over death and sin:
    and having harrowd hell didst bring away
    captivity thence captive us to win,
This joyous day, deare Lord, with joy begin,
    and grant that we for whom thou diddest dye
    being with thy deare blood clene washt from sin,
    may live for ever in felicity.
And that thy love we weighing worthily,
    may likewise love thee for the same again:
    and for thy sake that all lyke deare didst buy,
    with love may one another entertayne.
So let us love, dear love, lyke as we ought,
    love is the lesson which the Lord us taught.
