1 Jesus Christ, who came to save, And overcame the grave, Is now arisen, And sin hath bound in prison. Kyri' eleison.

2 Who withouten sin was found, Bore our transgression's wound. He is our Savior, And brings us to God's favor.

3 Life and mercy, sin and death, All in His hands He hath; Them He'll deliver, Who trust in Him forever.
