    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
