Texts
1 Christ the Lord is risen again! Christ has broken every chain!
Now through all the world it rings that the Lamb is King of Kings. Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Christ, our Paschal lamb indeed, Christ, today your people feed. Alleluia, alleluia!
2 He who gave for us his life, who for us endured the strife,
Takes our sin and guilt away that with angels we may say: Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Christ, our Paschal lamb indeed, Christ, today your people feed. Alleluia, alleluia!
3 He who bore all pain and loss comfortless upon the cross
Is exalted now to save, wresting victory from the grave. Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Christ, our Paschal lamb indeed, Christ, today your people feed. Alleluia, alleluia!
Words: Michael Weisse (1480-1543); tr. Catherine Winkworth (1827-1878)
