God has brought forth Israel into joy from sadness, loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke Jacob’s sons and daughters; led them with unmoistened foot through the Red Sea waters. 2 ’Tis the spring of souls today: Christ has burst his prison, and from three days’ sleep in death as a sun has risen. All the winter of our sins, long and dark, is flying from the Light, to whom we give laud and praise undying. 3 Now the queen of seasons, bright with the day of splendor, with the royal feast of feasts comes its joy to render; comes to glad Jerusalem, who with true affection welcomes in unwearied strains Jesus’ resurrection! 4 Neither could the gates of death, nor the tomb’s dark portal, nor the watchers, nor the seal hold you as a mortal: but today, among your own, you appear, bestowing your deep peace, which evermore passes human knowing.

Therefore let us joyful be and sing to God right thankfully loud songs of alleluia! Alleluia! 2 No son of man could conquer death, such ruin sin had wrought us. No innocence was found on earth, and therefore death had brought us into bondage from of old and ever grew more strong and bold and held us as its captive. Alleluia! 3 Christ Jesus, God's own Son, came down, his people to deliver; destroying sin, he took the crown from death's pale brow forever. Stripped of pow'r, no more it reigns; an empty form alone remains; its sting is lost forever. Alleluia! 4 It was a strange and dreadful strife when life and death contended. The victory remained with life, the reign of death was ended. Holy Scripture plainly saith that death is swallowed up by death; disgraced, it lies defeated. Alleluia! 5 Here the true Paschal Lamb we see, whom God so freely gave us; he died on the accursed tree– so strong his love– to save us. See, his blood now marks our door; faith points to it; death passes o'er, and Satan cannot harm us. Alleluia! 6 So let us keep the festival to which the Lord invites us; Christ is himself the joy of all, the sun that warms and lights us. Now his grace to us imparts eternal sunshine to our hearts; the night of sin is ended. Alleluia! 7 Then let us feast this Easter day on Christ, the bread of heaven; the Word of grace has purged away the old and evil leaven. Christ alone our souls will feed; he is our meat and drink indeed; faith lives upon no other! Alleluia! Topics: Easter Used With Tune: CHRIST LAG IN TODESBANDEN
