Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands

Author: Richard Massie; Martin Luther Hymnal: The Worshipbook #327 (1972) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 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! 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 he reigns, An empty form alone remains; His sting is lost forever! Alleluia! 3 So let us keep the festival Whereto the Lord invites us. Christ is himself the joy of all, The Sun that warms and lights us; By his grace he does impart Eternal sunshine to the heart; The night of sin is ended! Alleluia! 4 Then let us feast this Easter Day On the true Bread of heaven; The Word of grace has purged away The old and wicked leaven.

In death's strong grasp the Savior lay

Author: Dr. Martin Luther Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #84 (1908) Lyrics: 1 In Death's strong grasp the Savior lay, For our offences given; But now the Lord is ris'n to-day, And brings us life from heaven; Wherefore let us all rejoice, And praise our God with cheerful voice, And sing loud hallelujahs. Hallelujah! 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,-- His shadow lay athwart us. Hallelujah! 3 But Jesus, God's eternal Son, Is come for our salvation, The cause of death He has undone, And stopped its devastation; Ruined all his right and claim, And left him nothing but the name,-- His sting is lost forever. Hallelujah! 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, Made henceforth a derision. Hallelujah! 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 o'er,-- The murd'rer cannot harm us. Hallelujah! 6 So let us keep the festival, Whereto the Lord invites us; Christ is Himself the joy of all, The sun which warms and lights us: By His grace He doth impart Eternal sunshine to the heart; The night of sin is ended. Hallelujah! 7 Then let us feast this Easter-day On the true Bread of heaven; The Word of grade 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.

Christ was to Death abased

Hymnal: Psalmodia Germanica #38 (1732) Lyrics: I. Christ was to Death abased, And giv'n for our Transgression, But by his being raised Regain'd our Life's Possession. This should make our Souls rejoice To praise the Lord with Heart and Voice, In singing Hallelujah. Hallelujah! II. None could be found of Adam's Race Who Death and Hell could slaughter. Sin had defac'd the Worth and Grace Of ev'ry Son and Daughter. Death then, caused by the Fall, Was, from thence, entail'd on All; And kept the World in Bondage. Hallelujah! III. But JESUS, whom God ever lov'd, Came down for our Salvation: Death from her Empire he remov'd; And by his blessed Passion. Ruin'd all her Pow'r and Claim; And left Death Nothing but the Name: The Sting is lost for ever. Hallelujah! IV. How hot and wond'rous was the Fray! Life was with Death surrounded, The Lord of Life here gain'd the Day, Death's Kingdom was confounded. This the Scripture doth record, That Death was conquer'd with his Sword, And let at last in Triumph. Hallelujah. V. This is the Blessed Paschal Lamb, By God himself appointed. The Prophets do aloud proclaim, That this is THE ANOINTED, On our Hearts his Blood we shew; No Fears of Death disturbs us now: Subdu'd is that Destroyer. Hallelujah. VI. This is the Day the Lord has made To all our Hopes to raise us: Let Heav'n rejoice, let Earth be glad, And join to sing his Praises. He dispels the Clouds of Sin, His Merit cleanses all within, We are remov'd from Darkness, Hallelujah. VII. The Bread of Life, by which we're held Is CHRIST for ever living: The Leav'n of Sin is still expell'd By Grace, which he is giving. Faith desires no other Food, But our Redeemer's Flesh and Blood. Blest be his Name for ever. Hallelujah. Topics: Resurrection of Christ Languages: English Tune Title: [Christ was to Death abased]

Den Herre Krist i Dødsens Baand

Author: Luther; Landstad Hymnal: M. B. Landstads Kirkesalmebog og "Nokre Salmar" ved Professor Dr. E. Blix, samt følgende tillæg #342 (1897) Lyrics: 1 Den Herre Krist i Dødsens Baand Laa for vor Synd hengivet; Han er opstanden ved Guds Haand Og haver bragt os Livet! Kommer derfor, Kristne, lad Os takke Gud, og være glad, Og synge: Halleluja! Halleluja! 2 Paa Jorderig var ei den Mand, Som kunde Døden binde, For alt var her i syndig Stand, En Reen var ei at finde; Derfor kom nu Døden bradt, Med Vold og Magt han tog os fat, Og holdt os alle fangne. Halleluja! 3 Men Jesus Krist, Guds Søn saa bold, Med sterkest Magt er funden, Af ham betalt er Syndens Sold, Og Døden overvunden. Al hans Magt og al hans Ret Er blot et Suk, en Søvn saa let, Sin Brod den har han mistet. Halleluja! 4 Den Krig,– det var en farlig Leeg, Der Liv og Død de droges; Men Livet vandt og Døden seeg, Opslugtes og nedsloges. Derom vidner Skriftens Ord, At Kristi Død var Dødsens Mord, Til Spot er Døden vorden. Halleluja! 5 Her er det rette Paaskelam, Som Gud os nu tilbyder, Guds Kjærlighed har ofret ham, Og Troen glad ham nyder. Blodet strøget paa vor Dør – Den Morder-Engle ikke tør Der komme indenfore. Halleluja! 6 Saa holde vi den høie Fest Med Hjertens Fryd og Glæde, Og byde Herren selv til Gjest Med Livsens Lys indtræde. Han er Naadens Sol og Skin; Nu Dagen lyser til os ind, Synds-Natten er forgangen. Halleluja! 7 Nu har vi godt, nu leve vi, Guds Brøds, de gode Dage, Den gamle Surdeig er forbi Sødt Naadens ord os smage. Kristus er den sande Mad, Som gjør vor Sjæl og Hjerte glad, Af ham kun Troen lever. Halleluja!
