Heut triumphieret Gottes Sohn, à 6 by Johann Hermann Schein — Lyrics
Heut triumphieret Gottes Sohn,
Der von dem Tod erstanden schon,
Alleluja,
Mit großer Pracht und Herrlichkeit,
Des danken wir ihm in Ewigkeit.
Alleluja.
Dem Teufel hat er sein Gewalt
zerstört, verheert ihm all Gestalt,
Alleluja
wie pflegt zu tun ein großer Held,
der seinen Feind gewaltig fällt.
Alleluja.
O süßer Herre Jesu Christ,
der du der Sünder Heiland bist,
Alleluja,
führ uns durch dein Barmherzigkeit
mit Freuden in dein Herrlichkeit.
Alleluja.
Nun kann uns kein Feind schaden mehr,
ob er gleich murrt, ist's ohn Gefahr.
Alleluja,

About Heut triumphieret Gottes Sohn, à 6
Johann Hermann Schein's motet Heut triumphieret Gottes Sohn is a jubilant setting of a German hymn text celebrating the Resurrection of Christ. The text speaks of Christ's triumph over death and the devil, comparing him to a mighty hero who conquers his foes. It concludes with an appeal to Jesus as the saviour of sinners, asking for guidance through His mercy into eternal glory. Scored for SSATTB voices, this sacred work would provide a rich and festive sound for a choir looking to express profound theological themes with celebratory fervor. The recurring Alleluia interjections enhance the sense of joyous praise.
