| Text: | Christ Is Arisen |
| Translator: | F. W. Herzberger |
| Tune: | CHRIST IST ERSTANDEN |
Christ is arisen
from death’s bitter prison.
We now rejoice with gladness;
Christ will end all sadness.
Christe eleison.*
All the world had ended
had Jesus not ascended
from the grave triumphantly.
For this, Lord Christ, we honor thee.
Christe eleison.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
We now rejoice with gladness;
Christ will end all sadness.
Christe eleison.
*Translation: Christ, have mercy.
