    • 1. Jesus Christus unser Heiland,
    • Der den Tod überwand,
    • Ist auferstanden,
    • Die Sünd’ hat er gefangen.
    • Kyrie eleison!
    • 2. Der ohn’ Sünden war gebor’n,
    • Trug für uns Gottes Zorn,
    • Hat uns versöhnet,
    • Dass Gott uns sein’ Huld gönnet.
    • Kyrie eleison!
    • 3. Tod, Sünd’, Leben und Genad,
    • All’s in Händen er hat,
    • Er kann erretten
    • Alle, die zu ihm treten.
    • Kyrie eleison!

    • 1 Jesus Christ, who came to save,
    • And overcame the grave,
    • Is now arisen,
    • And sin hath bound in prison.
    • Kyri’ eleison!
    • 2. Who withoutén sin was found,
    • Bore our transgression’s wound.
    • He is our Saviour,
    • And brings us to God’s favor.
    • Kyri’ eleison!
    • 3. Life and mercy, sin and death,
    • All in his hands he hath;
    • Them he’ll deliver,
    • Who trust in him forever.
    • Kyri’ eleison!
