Original Text

Erstanden ist der heilge Christ, alleluia,
Der aller Welt ein Heiland ist, alleluia.
Und wär Er nicht erstanden, alleluia,
So wär die Welt vergangen, alleluia.
Und seit daß Er erstanden ist, alleluia.
So loben wir den Herren Christ, alleluia.

English Translation

Arisen is the holy Christ, halleluia!
who is Lord over all the earth, halleluia!
And had He not risen, halleluia!
the whole world would have ended, halleluia!
And so He is arisen, halleluia!
We praise the Lord Jesus Christ, halleluia!

This piece was performed by the SFBC in Sacred Song of the Middle Baroque on May 25, 1996.
