Tune: | CHRIST IST ERSTANDEN |
1 Christ the Lord is risen again;
Christ has conquered death and sin.
Hark! the angel choirs raise
Songs of everlasting praise:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 He who gave for us his life,
Who for us endured the strife,
Is our Paschal Lamb today;
We, too, sing for joy, and say:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 He who bore all pain and loss,
Comfortless upon the cross,
Lives in glory now on high,
Pleads for us, and hears our cry:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 He who slumbered in the grave
is exalted now to save;
Now through Christendom it rings
That the Lamb is King of kings.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
5 Now he bids us tell abroad
How the lost may be restored,
How the penitent forgiv'n,
How we, too, may enter heav'n.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
6 You, our Paschal Lamb indeed,
Christ, today your people feed;
Take our sins and guilt away,
That we all may sing for joy:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
