Text and Translations
Victimae paschali laudes immolent Christiani.                 Let Christians offer praises to the Paschal victim.
Agnus redemit oves: Christus                                  The Lamb redeemed his sheep: Christ,
innocens Patri reconciliavit peccatores.                      the innocent, reconciled sinners to the Father.
Mors et vita duello conflixere mirando:                       Death and life clashed in a battle at which we stand amazed:
dux vitae mortuus, regnat vivus.                              The General of Life, dead, now reigns living
Dic nobis Maria, quid vidisti in via?                         Tell us, Mary, what did you see on the way?
Sepulcrum Christi viventis, et gloriam vidi resurgentis:      I saw the sepulcher of the living Christ and his arising glory:
Angelicos testes, sudarium, et vestes                         Angelic witnesses, the napkin, and garments.
Surrexit Christus spes mea:                                   Christ, my hope, arose:
praecedet suos in Galilaeam.                                  He goes before his men into Galilee.
Scimus Christum surrexisse a mortuis vere:                    We know Christ to have truly risen from death:
tu nobis, victor Rex, miserere.                               Thou, to us, O victor King, be merciful.
Amen. Alleluia.                                               Amen. Alleluia.
                                                                                                          Translation: John Martin
Christ ist erstanden von der Marter alle.                     Christ is risen from all his tortures, we should
Des solln wir alle froh sein; Christ will unser Trost sein.   all be joyful at this, Christ wants to be our consolation.

Cantata BWV 4, First Day of Easter, Christ lag in Todes Banden, Martin Luther, 1524
1. Sinfonia                                       1. Sinfonia
2. Versus 1 - Choral                              2. Verse 1 - Chorale
Christ lag in Todesbanden                         Christ lay in death's bonds
Für unsre Sünd gegeben,                           given over for our sins,
Er ist wieder erstanden                           He has risen again
Und hat uns bracht das Leben;                     and brought us life;
Des wir sollen fröhlich sein,                     therefore we should be joyful,
Gott loben und ihm dankbar sein                   praise God and be thankful to
Und singen halleluja,                             Him and sing Hallelujah,
Halleluja!                                        Hallelujah!
3. Versus 2 - Duett S A                           3. Verse 2 - Duet S A
Den Tod niemand zwingen kunnt                     No one could defeat death
Bei allen Menschenkindern,                        among all humanity,
Das macht' alles unsre Sünd,                      this was all because of our sins,
Kein Unschuld war zu finden.                      no innocence was to be found.
Davon kam der Tod so bald                         Therefore death came so soon
Und nahm über uns Gewalt,                         and took power over us,
Hielt uns in seinem Reich gefangen.               held us captive in his kingdom.
Halleluja!                                        Hallelujah!
4. Versus 3 - Choral T                            4. Verse 3 - Chorale T
Jesus Christus, Gottes Sohn,                      Jesus Christ, God's son,                     Hymn by Martin Luther from
An unser Statt ist kommen                         has come in our place,                       Babstsche Gesangbuch, 1545

4
Und hat die Sünde weggetan,               and has done away with sin,
Damit dem Tod genommen                    thereby taking from death
All sein Recht und sein Gewalt,           all his rights and power,
Da bleibet nichts denn Tods Gestalt,      nothing remains but death's form;
Den Stach'l hat er verloren.              he has lost his sting.
Halleluja!                                Hallelujah!
5. Versus 4 - Choral                      5. Verse 4 - Chorale
Es war ein wunderlicher Krieg,            It was a strange battle,
Da Tod und Leben rungen,                  that death and life waged,
Das Leben behielt den Sieg,               life claimed the victory,
Es hat den Tod verschlungen.              it devoured death.
Die Schrift hat verkündigt das,           The scripture had prophesied this,
Wie ein Tod den andern fraß,              how one death gobbled up the other,
Ein Spott aus dem Tod ist worden.         a mockery has been made out of death.
Halleluja!                                Hallelujah!
6. Versus 5 - Arie B                      6. Verse 5 - Aria B
Hier ist das rechte Osterlamm,            Here is the true Easter-lamb,            Lift Up Your Heads
Davon Gott hat geboten,                   offered up by God,                       from Handel Messiah
Das ist hoch an des Kreuzes Stamm         which was, high on the cross' stalk      Psalm 24:7-10 KJV
In heißer Lieb gebraten,                  roasted in hot love,
Das Blut zeichnet unsre Tür,              the blood marks our door,                7 Liftup your heads,
Das hält der Glaub dem Tode für,          faith holds it against death,            O ye gates; and be ye lift
Der Würger kann uns nicht mehr schaden.   the strangler can no longer harm us.     up, ye everlasting doors;
Halleluja!                                Hallelujah!                              and the King of glory
7. Versus 6 - Duett S T                   7. Verse 6 - Duet S T                    shall come in.
So feiern wir das hohe Fest               So we celebrate the high festival
                                                                                   8 Who  is this King of
Mit Herzensfreud und Wonne,               with joy of heart and delight,
Das uns der Herre scheinen läßt,          which the Lord radiates upon us,         glory? The Lord strong
Er ist selber die Sonne,                  He himself is the sun,                   and mighty,
Der durch seiner Gnade Glanz              that through the splendor of his grace   the Lord mighty in battle.
Erleuchtet unsre Herzen ganz,             illuminates our hearts completely,
                                                                                   9 Liftup your heads, O
Der Sünden Nacht ist verschwunden.        the night of sin has disappeared.
Halleluja!                                Hallelujah!                              ye gates; even lift them
8. Versus 7 - Choral                      8. Verse 7 - Chorale                     up, ye everlasting doors;
Wir essen und leben wohl                  We eat and live well                     and the King of glory
In rechten Osterfladen,                   on the true Easter bread,                shall come in.
Der alte Sauerteig nicht soll             the old leaven shall not                 10 Who  is this King of
Sein bei dem Wort der Gnaden,             exist next to the word of grace,
Christus will die Koste sein              Christ will be our food                  glory? The Lord of hosts,
Und speisen die Seel allein,              and nourish the soul alone,              he is the King of glory.
Der Glaub will keins andern leben.        faith will live in no other way.
Halleluja!                                Hallelujah!
