Who hath subduèd death,
From death awaketh;
The power of sin He breaketh.
Have mercy upon us.
2 Born alone without transgression,
He bore for us God’s wrath;
Peace He hath given;
Grace He hath brought from Heaven:
Have mercy upon us.
3 All the powers of light and darkness
He holdeth in His hands;
He brings salvation
To His redeemèd nation.
Have mercy upon us. Used With Tune: JESUS CHRISTUS UNSER HEILAND Text Sources: Enchridion (Erfurt, Germany: 1524) ; Tr.: Psalms and Hymns (Cambridge, England: John Deigthon, 1851)
