Jesus Christ from death hath risen!
Lo, his Godhead bursts the prison,
While his Manhood passes free,
Vanquishing our misery:
Risen with him to salvation
Through his self-humiliation,
We may share his victory.

Far be sorrow, tears and sadness!
See the dayspring of our gladness!
Satan's slaves no more are we,
Children by the Son set free:
Rise, for Life with death hath striven,
All the snares of hell are riven;
Rise and claim the victory.
