''' Versus 1
:Christ lag in Todesbanden
:Für unsre Sünd gegeben,
:Er ist wieder erstanden
:Und hat uns bracht das Leben;
:Des wir sollen fröhlich sein,
:Gott loben und ihm dankbar sein
:Und singen halleluja,
:Halleluja!
 
'''Versus 2
:Den Tod niemand zwingen kunnt
:Bei allen Menschenkindern,
:Das macht' alles unsre Sünd,
:Kein Unschuld war zu finden.
:Davon kam der Tod so bald
:Und nahm über uns Gewalt,
:Hielt uns in seinem Reich gefangen.
:Halleluja!
 
'''Versus 3
:Jesus Christus, Gottes Sohn,
:An unser Statt ist kommen
:Und hat die Sünde weggetan,
:Damit dem Tod genommen
:All sein Recht und sein Gewalt,
:Da bleibet nichts denn Tods Gestalt,
:Den Stach'l hat er verloren.
:Halleluja!
 
'''Versus 4
:Es war ein wunderlicher Krieg,
:Da Tod und Leben rungen,
:Das Leben behielt den Sieg,
:Es hat den Tod verschlungen.
:Die Schrift hat verkündigt das,
:Wie ein Tod den andern fraß,
:Ein Spott aus dem Tod ist worden.
:Halleluja!
 
'''Versus 5
:Hier ist das rechte Osterlamm,
:Davon Gott hat geboten,
:Das ist hoch an des Kreuzes Stamm
:In heißer Lieb gebraten,
:Das Blut zeichnet unsre Tür,
:Das hält der Glaub dem Tode für,
:Der Würger kann uns nicht mehr schaden.
:Halleluja!
 
'''Versus 6
:So feiern wir das hohe Fest
:Mit Herzensfreud und Wonne,
:Das uns der Herre scheinen lässt,
:Er ist selber die Sonne,
:Der durch seiner Gnade Glanz
:Erleuchtet unsre Herzen ganz,
:Der Sünden Nacht ist verschwunden.
:Halleluja!
 
'''Versus 7
:Wir essen und leben wohl
:In rechten Osterfladen,
:Der alte Sauerteig nicht soll
:Sein bei dem Wort der Gnaden,
:Christus will die Koste sein
:Und speisen die Seel allein,
:Der Glaub will keins andern leben.
:Halleluja!
{{Translation|French}}
'''Verset 1
:Christ gisait dans les liens de la mort
:Sacrifié pour nos péchés,
:Il est ressuscité
:Et nous a apporté la vie;
:Nous devons nous réjouir,
:Louer Dieu et lui être reconnaissant
:Et chanter Alléluia,
:Alléluia!
 
'''Verset 2
:Nul ne peut contraindre la mort
:Parmi le genre humain,
:La faute en revient seulement à nos péchés,
:Il n'existait pas d'innocents.
:C'est pourquoi la mort fut si prompte
:À s'emparer de nous
:Et à nous retenir captifs dans son empire.
:Alléluia !
 
'''Verset 3
:Jésus Christ, fils de Dieu,
:Est venu à notre place
:Et a chassé le péché,
:Retirant ainsi à la mort
:Tous ses droits et sa puissance,
:Il ne reste plus rien de la mort,
:Elle a perdu son dard.
:Alléluia !
 
'''Verset 4
:Ce fut une étrange guerre
:Qui opposa la mort à la vie,
:La vie a remporté la victoire,
:Elle a anéanti la mort.
:L'écriture a annoncé
:Comment une mort supprima l'autre,
:La mort est devenue une dérision.
:Alléluia !
 
'''Verset 5
:Voici le juste agneau pascal
:Exigé par le Seigneur.
:Haut sur le tronc de la Croix
:Il a été rôti avec le plus fervent amour,
:Son sang marque notre porte,
:La foi tient la mort en échec,
:Le bourreau ne peut plus rien contre nous,
:Alléluia !
 
'''Verset 6
:Aussi célébrons-nous la grande fête
:Dans l'allégresse du cœur et les délices
:Que le Seigneur nous dispense,
:Il est lui-même le soleil
:Qui illumine de sa grâce
:Tout notre cœur,
:La nuit du péché s'est évanouie.
:Alléluia !
 
'''Verset 7
:Nous mangeons pour notre bien-être
:La juste galette de Pâques,
:Le vieux levain ne doit pas
:Être associé à la parole de grâce,
:Christ sera notre nourriture
:Et lui seul rassasiera notre âme.
:Le croyant ne veut pas d'autre vie.
:Alléluia !

''' Verse 1
:Christ Jesus lay in death’s strong bands,
:For our offenses given;
:But now at God’s right hand He stands,
:And brings us life from Heaven.
:Wherefore let us joyful be,
:And sing to God right thankfully
:Loud songs of Alleluia! Alleluia!
''' Verse 2
:No son of man could conquer Death,
:Such mischief sin had wrought us,
:For innocence dwelt not on earth,
:And therefore Death had brought us
:Into thralldom from of old
:And ever grew more strong and bold
:And kept us in his bondage. Alleluia!
''' Verse 3
:But Jesus Christ, God’s only Son,
:To our low state descended,
:The cause of Death He has undone,
:His power forever ended,
:Ruined all his right and claim
:And left him nothing but the name,
:His sting is lost forever. Alleluia!
''' Verse 4
:It was a strange and dreadful strife
:When life and death contended;
:The victory remained with life;
:The reign of death was ended.
:Stripped of power, no more it reigns,
:An empty form alone remains
:Death’s sting is lost forever! Alleluia!
''' Verse 5
:Here the true Paschal Lamb we see,
:Whom God so freely gave us;
:He died on the accursed tree—
:So strong His love!—to save us.
:See, His blood doth mark our door;
:Faith points to it, Death passes over,
:And Satan cannot harm us. Alleluia!
''' Verse 6
:So let us keep the festival
:Where to the Lord invites us;
:Christ is Himself the joy of all,
:The Sun that warms and lights us.
:By His grace He doth impart
:Eternal sunshine to the heart;
:The night of sin is ended! Alleluia!
''' Verse 7
:Then let us feast this Easter day
:On the true Bread of Heaven;
:The Word of grace hath purged away
:The old and wicked leaven.
:Christ alone our souls will feed;
:He is our Meat and Drink indeed;
:Faith lives upon no other! Alleluia!
