In the bonds of death He lay,
Who for our offense was slain,
But the Lord is risen today,
Christ hath brought us life again;
Wherefore let us all rejoice,
Singing loud with cheerful voice.
Jesus Christ, God’s only Son,
Came at last our foe to smite,
All our sins away hath done,
Done away death
(Martin Luther)
