Most glorious Lord of life! that, on this day

   Didst make thy triumph over death and sin,

   And, having harrowed hell, didst bring away

   Captivity thence captive, us to win:

This joyous day, dear Lord, with joy begin,

   And grant that we, for whom thou didest die,

   Being with dear blood clean washed 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 lie dear didst buy,

   With love may one another entertain.

So let us love, dear love like as we ought –

Love is the lesson which the Lord us taught.

                                                                    

Edmund Spenser (1552-1599)
