Christ lag in Todesbanden

Johann Hermann Schein (1586-1630)

Original Text

English Translation

 

Christ lag in Todesbanden,
für unser Sünd gegeben,
der ist wieder erstanden,
und hat uns bracht das Leben,
daß wir sollen frölich sein,
Gott loben und dankbar sein
und singen Alleluja.

Christ lay in the bonds of death,
given for our sin.
He is risen again
and has brought us life.
Therefore we should be joyful,
should praise God and be grateful
and sing Alleluya.



This piece was performed by the SFBC in Early Masters of the German Baroque on October 26, 1996.
