Kyrioleis.
6. Er ist auf Erden kommen arm,
Dass er unser sich erbarm',
Und in dem Himmel machet reich
Und seinen lieben Engeln gleich.
Kyrioleis.
7. Das hat er alles uns gethan,
Sein' gross' Lieb' zu zeigen an.
Dess freu' sich alle Christenheit
Und dank' ihm des in Ewigkeit.
Kyrioleis.
IX. Christ lag in Todesbanden.
Christ was laid in Death's strong Bands.
_"Christ ist erstanden."-[Gebessert._ D. MARTIN LUTHER.]
_Melody derived from that of the older hymn, _ 1525. _Harmony
by_ WM. STERNDALE BENNETT _and_ OTTO
GOLDSCHMITT, 1865.
1. Christ was laid in Death's strong bands
For our transgressions given.
Risen, at God's right hand he stands
And brings us life from heaven.
Therefore let us joyful be
Praising God right thankfully
With loud songs of Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
2. None o'er Death could victory win;
O'er all mankind he reigned.
'Twas by reason of our sin;
There was not one unstained.
Thus came Death upon us all,
Bound the captive world in thrall,
Held us 'neath his dread dominion.
Hallelujah!
3. Jesus Christ, God's only Son,
To our low state descending,
All our sins away hath done
Death's power forever ending.
