Lyrics
German:
Christ lag in Todesbanden,
Für unser Sünd gegeben,
Der ist wieder erstanden,
Und hat uns bracht das Leben;
Des wir sollen frölich sein,
Gott loben und ihm dankbar sein,
Und singen ihm Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
English:
In death's strong grasp the Saviour lay,
for our offences given;
But now the Lord is ris'n today,
And brings us life from heaven;
Wherefore let us all rejoice,
And praise our God with cheerful voice,
And sing loud Alleluias, Alleluia!
--Tr. C. Winkwort
