Erstanden ist der heil‘ge Christ by Johann Hermann Schein — Lyrics
1. Erstanden ist der heilig Christ,
Alleluja! Alleluja!
Der aller Welt ein Tröster ist.
Alleluja! Alleluja!
2. Und wäre er nicht erstanden,
Alleluja! Alleluja!
So wäre die Welt vergangen.
Alleluja! Alleluja!
3. Und seit dass er erstanden ist,
Alleluja! Alleluja!
Lobn wir den Herren Jesum Christ.
Alleluja! Alleluja!
4. Es gingn drei heilige Frauen,
Alleluja! Alleluja!
Des Morgens frühe im Tauen.
Alleluja! Alleluja!
6. Sie funden da zween Engel schon,
Alleluja! Alleluja!

About Erstanden ist der heil‘ge Christ
This is a well-known German Easter hymn, sung in four parts by a SATB choir. The text rejoices in the Resurrection of Christ, proclaiming that his rising is the salvation of the world. It also recounts the story of the three Marys at the empty tomb, finding angels who confirm Jesus's risen state. The repeated Alleluias add to the jubilant and exultant nature of the Easter message. The hymn’s confident, affirmative text and its foundation in a traditional sacred melody make it a powerful choice for Easter services or concerts, offering a profound expression of faith and hope.
