All the winter of our sins, long and dark, is flying from his light, to whom we give laud and praise undying. 3 Now the queen of seasons, bright with the day of splendour, with the royal feast of feasts, comes its joy to render; comes to glad Jerusalem, who with true affection welcomes in unwearied strains Jesus' resurrection. 4 Neither might the gates of death, nor the tomb's dark portal, nor the watchers, nor the seal hold thee as a mortal; but today amidst the twelve thou didst stand, bestowing that thy peace which evermore passeth human knowing. 5 Alleluia now we cry to our King immortal, who triumphant burst the bars of the tomb's dark portal; alleluia, with the Son God the Father praising; alleluia, yet again to the Spirit raising.

Ach, wie lang, ach lange ist dem Herzen bange und verlangt nach dir! Gottes Lamm, mein Bräutigam, außer dir soll mir auf Erden nichts sonst Liebers werden. 2 Unter deinem Schirmen bin ich vor den Stürmen aller Feinde frei. Lass den Satan wettern, lass die Welt erzittern, mir steht Jesus bei. Ob es jetzt gleich kracht und blitzt, ob gleich Sünd und Hölle schrecken, Jesus will mich decken. 3 Weicht, ihr Trauergeister; denn mein Freudenmeister, Jesus, tritt herein. Denen, die Gott lieben, muss auch ihr Betrüben lauter Freude sein. Duld ich schon hier Spott und Hohn, dennoch bleibst du auch im Leide, Jesu, meine Freude. 1 Jesus, priceless treasure, source of purest pleasure, truest friend to me, long my heart hath panted, till it wellnigh fainted, thirsting after thee. Thine I am, O spotless Lamb; I will suffer naught to hide thee, ask for naught beside thee. 2 In thine arm I rest me; foes who have oppressed me cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell with their heaviest storms assail me; Jesus will not fail me. 3 Hence, all thoughts of sadness! for the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in. Those who love the Savior, though the storms may gather, still have peace within. Yea, whate’er we here must bear, still in thee lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure!

The victory remained with life, the reign of death is ended. So the scripture makes it plain that death by death’s own sword is slain. Its sting is lost forever. Hallelujah! 3 Then let us keep this feast today that God has freely given. The word of grace has swept away the old and evil leaven. Christ today will meet his own and faith will feed on him alone; the living bread of heaven. Hallelujah!
