Christ our Passover by Hart Pease Danks — Lyrics
1 Corinthians 5:78:
7 For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Romans 6: 911
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

About Christ our Passover
In this SATB anthem, Hart Pease Danks sets a powerful English text drawn from the New Testament. The lyrics draw a parallel between the Jewish Passover and Christ's sacrifice and resurrection. The music emphasizes the joyous proclamation of Christ's victory over death, urging believers to live a life of purity and sincerity, free from malice and wickedness. The composer highlights the spiritual transformation that occurs through faith in Christ, who is presented as the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. This anthem is a vibrant declaration of the Christian message of redemption and new life.
