From there<\/a>:<\/p>\n

MOST glorious Lord of Lyfe! that, on this day,
\nDidst make Thy triumph over death and sin;
\nAnd, having harrowd hell, didst bring away
\nCaptivity thence captive, us to win:
\nThis joyous day, deare Lord, with joy begin;
\nAnd grant that we, for whom thou diddest dye,
\nBeing with Thy deare blood clene washt from sin,
\nMay live for ever in felicity!<\/p>\n

And that Thy love we weighing worthily,
\nMay likewise love Thee for the same againe;
\nAnd for Thy sake, that all lyke deare didst buy,
\nWith love may one another entertayne!
\n So let us love, deare Love, lyke as we ought,
\n \u2014Love is the lesson which the Lord us taught.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
