Christ Jesus lay in death’s strong bands

Author: Richard Massie, 1800-87; Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Hymnal: Together in Song #364 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.8.7.4 Lyrics: 1 Christ Jesus lay in death’s strong bands for our offences given; but now at God’s right hand he stands and brings us light from heaven: let us then with joy adore and thank our God for evermore, and sing loud hallelujahs. Hallelujah! 2 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 gone forever. Hallelujah! 3 So let us keep the festival our Lord himself invites us; Christ is the Lamb, the joy of all, the sun that warms and lights us; through the glory of his grace all darkness must today give place, the night of sin is ended. Hallelujah! 4 Then let us feast this holy day on the true bread of heaven. The word of grace has purged away the old and wicked leaven. Christ alone our souls can feed, he is our food and drink indeed, faith lives upon no other. Hallelujah!

Therefore let us joyful be and sing to God right thankfully loud songs of alleluia! Alleluia! 2 No son of man could conquer death, such ruin sin had wrought us. No innocence was found on earth, and therefore death had brought us into bondage from of old and ever grew more strong and bold and held us as its captive.

Stripped of pow'r, no more it reigns; an empty form alone remains; its sting is lost forever. Alleluia! 4 It was a strange and dreadful strife when life and death contended. The victory remained with life, the reign of death was ended. Holy Scripture plainly saith that death is swallowed up by death; disgraced, it lies defeated. Alleluia! 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 now marks our door; faith points to it; death passes o'er, and Satan cannot harm us. Alleluia! 6 So let us keep the festival to which the Lord invites us; Christ is himself the joy of all, the sun that warms and lights us.
