Christ the Lord Is Risen Again

Representative Text

1 Christ the Lord is risen again;
Christ has cleaved death'due south potent concatenation.
Hark, the angels shout for joy,
singing evermore on high:
Hallelujah!

two He who gave for us his life,
who for us endured the strife,
is our Paschal Lamb today.
We too sing for joy and say:
Hallelujah!

3 He who bore all hurting and loss
comfortless upon the cantankerous
lives in glory now on high,
pleads for us, and hears our cry:
Hallelujah!

4 He whose path no records tell
has descended into hell;
he the strong human armed has bound
and in highest heav'n is crowned.
Hallelujah!

5 He who slumbered in the grave
is exalted at present to save;
now through Christendom it rings
that the Lamb is Male monarch of kings.
Hallelujah!

half-dozen Now he bids us tell abroad
how the lost may be restored,
how the penitent forgiv'due north,
how we too may enter heav'due north,
Hallelujah!

Equally a basis for his text "Christus ist erstanden," Michael Weisse (b. Neisse, Silesia, Poland, c. 1480; d. Landskron, Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, 1534) turned to the same earlier sources that Martin Luther had turned to merely a few years earlier (PHH 398). Weisse besides reworked the older chorale "Christ ist erstanden," at that time a pop "leise"–a song that included a "Kyrie eleison" refrain shortened to "kirleis" or "leis." The original "Christ is erstanden" was developed from the Latin sequence "Victimae Paschali laudes" (c. 1100). Weisse's chorale was published in the beginning High german-language Maverick hymnal Ein Neugesängbuchlein (1531), which he edited. The hymnal contained 155 hymns, with some original texts written by Weisse and others translated by him from Bohemian. Many of Weisse'south hymn texts also institute their way into later German language hymnals.

Weisse was a monk in Breslau when he came in contact with the writings of Martin Luther. After leaving the Roman Catholic Church building, he joined the Bohemian Brethren, spiritual descendants of John Hus, who were later called Moravians. A leader among the Bohemian Brethren, Weisse established a number of their German language-speaking communities and was sent to consult with Luther on issues of theology.

Catherine Winkworth (PHH 194) translated Weisse'due south text, which was published in her Lyra Germanica (1858). Originally entitled "Song of Triumph," the translation began with the words, "Christ the Lord is risen once more." The Psalter Hymnal includes Winkworth'south stanzas 1, iii, 7, and 6 (in that club).

Stanzas 1 and 2 focus on the Christ, who suffered death on the cross simply who is now exalted in glory equally our mediator. Stanza 3 is a prayer peculiarly suited for celebration of Lord'south Supper. Stanza 4 encourages united states to preach the skilful news to extend Christ's kingdom. Each stanza concludes with an "alleluia." The last refrain rings in even more "alleluias" and includes the cosmic testimony "the Lamb is Male monarch of kings!"

Liturgical Use:
Easter; Ascent; Lord'southward Supper.
