Erschienen ist der herrlich Tag by Johann Hermann Schein — Lyrics
Erschienen ist der herrlich Tag,
dran sich niemand gnug freuen mag;
Christ, unser Herr, heut triumphiert,
all seine Feind gefangen führt.
Halleluja!
Die alte Schlang, die Sünd und Tod,
die Höll, all Jammer, Angst und Not
hat überwunden Jesus Christ,
der heut vom Tod erstanden ist.
Halleluja!
Am Sabbat früh mit Spezerei
kamen zum Grab der Weiber drei,
dass sie salbten Marien Sohn,

About Erschienen ist der herrlich Tag
Johann Hermann Schein's Erschienen ist der herrlich Tag is a sacred hymn in German, set for SATB choir. The text celebrates the triumph of Christ over death, proclaiming his resurrection with joyous exclamations of "Halleluja!" It describes how Christ has conquered sin and hell, and recounts the women's visit to the empty tomb on the Sabbath morning, where an angel announces the resurrection. The disciples' fear is transformed into joy upon seeing the risen Lord. This powerful Easter message is conveyed through a traditional hymn structure, making it a fitting anthem for the Easter season.
