Easter Octaves #1 & #2

#1
He is risen, risen indeed!
Christ, the lamb, hath fulfilled our need,
Sorrows banished by famished death,
Children reborn by Spirit's breath!
Come worship the King, Risen Christ!
Come worship our God, Risen Christ!
Let all the world see, hear, and know,
Death has been dealt a killing blow!

#2
Dazzled eyes sparkle with New Light,
A world remade comes into sight.
Heaven breaths upon the new world,
The New Age of Man comes unfurled!
New Adam reigns on His high throne,
New liberty His pow'r makes known,
The power of life and keys of death,
Both are commanded by His breath!
