On Monday Heather sang the first verse of "Christ lag in Todesbanden", hymn by Martin Luther, cantata version by JS Bach, in both German and English. CHRIST LAG IN TODESBANDEN (German) 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, Ha-a-al-le-lu-u-u-u-ja! | CHRIST LAY IN DEATH'S BONDS Christ lay in death's bonds Handed over for our sins, He is risen again And has brought us life For this we should be joyful, Praise God and be thankful to him And sing hallelluia, Halleluia! | Whole piece with German, English, French and Dutch translations on ChoralWiki with links to choir sheet music.
