RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English

04 Apr 24

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.
