Christ lag in Todesbanden
für unsre Sünd gegeben,
er ist wieder erstanden
und hat uns bracht das Leben;
des wir sollen fröhlich sein,
Gott loben und ihm dankbar sein
und singen halleluja,
halleluja!
TRANSLATION (by Richard Stokes from J. S. Bach: The Complete Cantatas,1999):
Christ lay in the bonds of death,
sacrificed for our sins.
He has risen again
and brought us life;
for this we should rejoice,
praise the Lord and give thanks
and sing alleluia,
alleluia!
