Spanish:
1 Cristo vive, fuera el llanto,
Los lamentos y el pesar!
Ni la muerte ni el sepulro
Lo han podido sujetar.
No busquéis entre los muerto
Al que siempre ha de vivir,
Cristo vive! estas nuevas
Por doquier dejad oir.
2 Que si Cristo no viviera
Vana fuera nuestra fe.
Mas se cumple Su promesa:
"Porque vivo, viviréis."
Si en Adan entró la muerte,
Por Jesus la vida entró;
No temais, el triunfoes vuestro:
!El Señor resucitó!
3 Si es verdad que de la muerte
El pecado es aguijón,
No temáis pues Jesucristo
Nos da vida y salvación.
Gracias demos al Dios Padre
Que nos da seguridad.
Que quien cree en Jesucristo
Vive pro la eternidad.
English:
1 Christ is risen, Christ is living,
Dry your tears, be unafraid!
Death and darkness could not hold Him,
Nor the tomb where He was laid.
Do not look among the dead for
One who lives forevermore;
Tell the world that Christ is risen,
Make it known He goes before.
2 If the Lord had never risen,
We'd have nothing to believe.
But His promise can be trusted:
"You will live, because I live."
As we share the death of Adam,
So in Christ we live again.
Death has lost its sting and terror.
Christ the Lord has come to reign.
3 Death has lost its old dominion,
Let the world rejoice and shout!
Christ, the firstborn of the living,
Gives us life and leads us out.
Let us thank our God who causes
Hope to spring up from the ground.
Christ is risen, Christ is giving
Life eternal, life profound.
Fred Kaan was known and honoured throughout the English speaking world as a hymn writer. He was in the tradition of reformed ministers such as Philip Doddridge who wrote hymns to follow and sum up the sermons they preached. Having started to write hymns early in his ministry, his output grew steadily during his career.
The post-war years witnessed an explosion of hymn writing that can loosely be categorised into two groups. There were those writers who worked in a traditional style, seeking to add their 20th-century contribution to the corpus of hymns used down the years by churches of all traditions. And there were those who introduced a new style of "worship song" designed to appeal to today's congregations.
