Erschienen ist der herrlich Tag

Representative Text

1 Erschienen ist der herrlich Tag,
dran niemand g'nug sich freuen mag;
Christ, unser Herr, heut triumphiert,
seine Feind er all gefangen führt.
Halleluja.

2 Die alte Schlang, die Sünd und Tod,
die Höll, all Jammer, Angst und Not
hat überwunden Jesus Christ,
der heut vom Tod erstanden ist.
Halleluja.

3 Sein' Raub der Tod mußt geben her,
das Leben siegt und ward ihm Herr,
zerstört ist nun all seine Macht.
Christ hat das Leben wiederbracht.
Halleluja.

4 Die Sonn, die Erd, all Kreatur,
alls, was betrübet war zuvor,
das freut sich heut an diesem Tag,
da der Welt Fürst darniederlag.
Halleluja.

5 Drum wollen wir auch fröhlich sein,
das Halleluja singen fein
und loben dich, Herr Jesu Christ;
zu Trost du uns erstanden bist.
Halleluja.

Drum wir auch billig fröhlich sein,
singen das Hallelujah fein
und loben dich, Herr Jesu Christ,
zu Trost du uns erstanden bist.

(Koch, i. 390-398; Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie, xii. 186-188, &c.) He was a great friend and helper of J. Mathesius (q.v.)… Go to person page >
