|
<p>Christ Jesus lay in death’s strong bands, for our offenses given;<br>
|
|
But now at God’s right hand He stands, and brings us life from heaven.<br>
|
|
Wherefore let us joyful be, and sing to God right thankfully<br>
|
|
Loud songs of Alleluia! Alleluia!</p>
|
|
<p>No son of man could conquer Death, such mischief sin had wrought us,<br>
|
|
For innocence dwelt not on earth, and therefore Death had brought us<br>
|
|
Into thralldom from of old and ever grew more strong and bold<br>
|
|
And kept us in his bondage. Alleluia!</p>
|
|
<p>But Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, to our low state descended,<br>
|
|
The cause of Death He has undone, his power forever ended,<br>
|
|
Ruined all his right and claim and left him nothing but the name,<br>
|
|
His sting is lost forever. Alleluia!</p>
|
|
<p>It was a strange and dreadful strife when life and death contended;<br>
|
|
The victory remained with life; the reign of death was ended.<br>
|
|
Stripped of power, no more it reigns, an empty form alone remains<br>
|
|
Death’s sting is lost forever! Alleluia!</p>
|
|
<p>Here the true Paschal Lamb we see, Whom God so freely gave us;<br>
|
|
He died on the accursed tree—so strong His love!—to save us.<br>
|
|
See, His blood doth mark our door; faith points to it, Death passes over,<br>
|
|
And Satan cannot harm us. Alleluia!</p>
|
|
<p>So let us keep the festival where to the Lord invites us;<br>
|
|
Christ is Himself the joy of all, the Sun that warms and lights us.<br>
|
|
By His grace He doth impart eternal sunshine to the heart;<br>
|
|
The night of sin is ended! Alleluia!</p>
|
|
<p>Then let us feast this Easter day on the true Bread of heaven;<br>
|
|
The Word of grace hath purged away the old and wicked leaven.<br>
|
|
Christ alone our souls will feed; He is our Meat and Drink indeed;<br>
|
|
Faith lives upon no other! Alleluia!</p>
