About Christ ist erstanden (tr90) II
This anonymous German hymn rejoices in Christ's resurrection, a central tenet of Christian faith. The text, derived from the Easter sequence Victimae paschali laudes, opens with the triumphant declaration that Christ has risen, free from all suffering. The choir, singing in three parts (STT), is urged to be glad, for Christ is their comfort. The second verse emphasizes that without the resurrection, the world would have perished, reinforcing the significance of Christ's victory over death. The final verse, marked by the joyous Alleluia, reiterates the call for gladness and affirms Christ as the source of solace. The repeated "Kyrieleis" (Lord, have mercy) underscores the supplicatory nature of the devotion.
