Chorale Text
German:
Heut' triumphiret Gottes Sohn,
der von dem Tod erstanden schon,
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
mit grosser Pracht und Herrlichkeit,
dess danken wir ihm in Ewigkeit,
Hallelujah! hallelujah!

English:
Today God's only-begotten Son
Arose from death and triumph won,
Alleluia, Alleluia!
In mighty pomp and rich array,
His therefore be the praise alway.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
