Christ the Lord Is Risen Again

Representative Text

ane Christ the Lord is risen again;
Christ has cleaved death's strong chain.
Hark, the angels shout for joy,
singing evermore on high:
Hallelujah!

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

3 He who diameter all pain and loss
comfortless upon the cantankerous
lives in glory now on loftier,
pleads for the states, and hears our cry:
Hallelujah!

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

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

6 Now he bids u.s.a. tell abroad
how the lost may exist restored,
how the penitent forgiv'n,
how we besides may enter heav'n,
Hallelujah!

As a ground for his text "Christus ist erstanden," Michael Weisse (b. Neisse, Silesia, Poland, c. 1480; d. Landskron, Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, 1534) turned to the aforementioned earlier sources that Martin Luther had turned to just a few years earlier (PHH 398). Weisse besides reworked the older chorale "Christ ist erstanden," at that time a popular "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 first German-language Bohemian 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's hymn texts likewise found their mode into later German hymnals.

Weisse was a monk in Breslau when he came in contact with the writings of Martin Luther. Afterwards leaving the Roman Catholic Church, he joined the Bohemian Brethren, spiritual descendants of John Hus, who were later called Moravians. A leader amid the Bohemian Brethren, Weisse established a number of their German-speaking communities and was sent to consult with Luther on problems 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's stanzas 1, 3, 7, and 6 (in that social club).

Stanzas 1 and 2 focus on the Christ, who suffered decease on the cross but who is at present exalted in glory equally our mediator. Stanza 3 is a prayer particularly suited for celebration of Lord's Supper. Stanza iv encourages us to preach the proficient news to extend Christ's kingdom. Each stanza concludes with an "alleluia." The final refrain rings in even more than "alleluias" and includes the cosmic testimony "the Lamb is King of kings!"

Liturgical Apply:
Easter; Rise; Lord's Supper.
