Christ ist erstanden von dem Tod, WoO VI 17, No. 11 by Max Reger — Lyrics
Christ ist erstanden von dem Tod,
erlöst aus aller Angst und Not,
ein Kön'g in allem Lande;
zerrissen sind all Bande,
herrlich ist jetzt sein Schande.
Im Glauben lasset uns ihm nahn,
es ist fürwahr kein falscher Wahn,
er trägt noch seine Wunden;
wahrhaft ist er erfunden,
treu all'n, die zu ihm stunden.

About Christ ist erstanden von dem Tod, WoO VI 17, No. 11
Max Reger's Christ ist erstanden von dem Tod is a powerful setting of a German hymn. Scored for SATB choir, its rich harmonies and textures reflect the solemnity and triumph of the Easter message. The text rejoices in Christ's resurrection, emphasizing His victory over death and bondage. It speaks of the wounds He still bears, a testament to His sacrifice, and offers solace to the faithful, assuring them of overcoming earthly tribulations. The music mirrors the text's journey from suffering to ultimate victory, with moments of introspection giving way to exultant praise. This hymn is a profound expression of Christian faith, urging unity and love among believers as they face life's challenges.
