Full Lyrics
translator unknown
A man is dead, but he will live once more,
He will arise, Christian man, be sure.
Weep not for him! Lift up your eyes!
Bright seraphim Throng the wide azure skies!
Hark the angels singing
Oh the air joyful tones out flinging,
Loud hosannas freely ring
To the glorious conq'ring King.
Christ our Lord, in Thy love for us,
Thou didst come from heav'n to earth,
suffer and die and rise again,
Hosanna to Thy name.
When in the tomb Jesus was laid away,
O'er all the earth, darkness and gloom held sway,
But when the Lord snapp'd death's great chain,
Clouds were all scatter'd, And the sun shone again.
Hark the angels singing
Oh the air joyful tones out flinging,
Loud hosannas freely ring
To the glorious conq'ring King.
Christ our Lord, in Thy love for us,
Thou didst come from heav'n to earth,
suffer and die and rise again,
Hosanna to Thy name.
