Lyrics
Verse 1
Christ Jesus lay in death's strong bands
For our offenses given
But now at God's right hand He stands
And brings us life from Heaven
Wherefore let us joyful be
And sing to God right thankfully
Loud songs of Alleluia! Alleluia!
Verse 2
No son of man could conquer death
Such mischief sin had wrought us
For innocence dwelt not on earth
And therefore death had brought us
Into thralldom from of old
And ever grew more strong and bold
And kept us in his bondage. Alleluia!
Verse 3
But Jesus Christ, God's only Son
To our low state descended
The cause of death He has undone
His power forever ended
Ruined all his right and claim
And left him nothing but the name
His sting is lost forever. Alleluia!
Verse 4
It was a strange and dreadful strife
When life and death contended
The victory remained with life
The reign of death was ended
Stripped of power, no more it reigns
An empty form alone remains
Death's sting is lost forever! Alleluia!
Verse 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 doth mark our door
Faith points to it, death passes o'er
And Satan cannot harm us. Alleluia!
Verse 6
So let us keep the festival
Where to the Lord invites us
Christ is Himself the joy of all
The Sun that warms and lights us
By His grace He doth impart
Eternal sunshine to the heart
The night of sin is ended! Alleluia!
Verse 7
Then let us feast this Easter day
On the true Bread of Heaven
The Word of grace hath purged away
The old and wicked leaven
Christ alone our souls will feed
He is our meat and drink indeed
Faith lives upon no other! Alleluia!...
