Lord Jesus arises,

Tremble ye Romans!

Seize on your weapons!

The grave now is open.

Seasoned old warriors

Stand if you can!

Dulled is the sword,

Severed the shield,

Tumbled in dust!

CHOIR OF ANGELS

Tired is the dragon,

Conquered is death,

Won has the lion,

Life comes to all that believe.

Voices of humans

Tone out and sing!

The light and the life

To darkest of Earth

The lion has given!

Awaken ye pious,

Gone is the week,

Ended the night.

Light was your longings

Burst now your prison,

Lit is the light!

Greatest Redeemer

To you shall bow

Thrones of all mortals

As stars to the sun,

Souls of all humans

Deeply bow down

Before your redeemer

Your burdens He lifted

Atoned for your sins.

Ring now from nation to nation

Ring over nations

The holy name of the Lord.

Let echo the sound of His name

Melt let all hearts in the sound.

Humans shall live in His name

Jesus, the purest

Jesus, who suffered for us on the cross

Jesus, who rose from the grave all in splendor

Jesus, the name which alone

Peace to the heart can restore,

Peace from our God:

THE ANGEL GABRIEL

(To the guard)

Flee now ye heroes

Hide in the scabbard

Now, all your gleaming swords;

Cool now your tempers

The Spirit no longer assail.

Go and proclaim:

Who is the sinner,

And who is God.

(To the women)

Lift up your vision,

Up in the blue,

Thence shall all nations

Find solace and light.

Comfort your sorrow,

Still now your tears,

For Jesus is near,

Not where they laid him,

But right where He said.

So go there to meet him,

For He is arisen,

Burst is the prison,

Jesus awaits you with joy.

Easter Lily, white and pure,

Lovely, living symbol-flower

In my heart I can be sure

Death to life has lost its power.

He arose, as we confess!

Present is He us to bless!

Living in what pallid lay,

Bright and clear on Easter Day.
