Hold in remembrance Jesus Christ,
W ho is arisen from death's bondage. (1.)






My Jesus is arisen,
But still, why fear I yet?
My faith the Savior's triumph sees,
But still my heart feels strife and war,
Appear, my Savior, now!

My Jesus, thou art called the bane to death,
And unto hell a plague and torment; (2.)
Ah, am I still by dread and terror struck?
Thou set upon our very tongues then
The song of praise we have been singing (3.)

Appeared is now the glorious day
When no one hath his fill of joy:
Christ, he our Lord, today triumphs,
Who all his foes hath captive led.
Alleluia!



It seems as though
The remnant of my foe,
Whom I too strong and frightful still consider,
Will leave me not in peace.
But if for me the vict'ry thou hast won,
Contend thyself with me, with thine own child now:
Yes, yes, we feel in faith already
That thou, O Prince of peace,
Thy word and work in us shalt yet fulfill.

Bass: Peace be unto you!
Chorale:O joy! Jesus helps us battle
And the foes' great rage to dampen,
Hell and Satan, yield!
Bass: Peace be unto you!
Chorale: Jesus summons us to peace now
And restores in us so weary
Soul and flesh alike.
Bass: Peace be unto you!
Chorale: O Lord, help as we endeavor
E'en through death to press our journey
To thy glorious realm!
Bass: Peace be unto you!

Thou Prince of peace, Lord Jesus Christ,
True man and very God,
A helper strong in need thou art
In life as well as death:
So we alone
For thy name's sake
Are to thy Father crying.

John 20: 19-31
