Rhyme Scheme: A BCBC ADED FGFG HDHD IJIK

Christ our passoverA
-
Lo the destroying angel fliesB
To Pharaoh's stubborn landC
The pride and flower of Egypt diesB
By his vindictive handC
-
He passed the tents of Jacob o'erA
Nor poured the wrath divineD
He saw the blood on every doorE
And blessed the peaceful signD
-
Thus the appointed Lamb must bleedF
To break the Egyptian yokeG
Thus Isr'el is from bondage freedF
And 'scapes the angel's strokeG
-
Lord if my heart were sprinkled tooH
With blood so rich as thineD
Justice no longer would pursueH
This guilty soul of mineD
-
Jesus our passover was slainI
And has at once procuredJ
Freedom from Satan's heavy chainI
And God's avenging swordK

Isaac Watts
