Wir sind erfreut, |
We are delighted |
Daß unser Jesus wieder lebt, |
that our Jesus lives again, |
Und unser Herz, |
and our hearts, |
So erst in Traurigkeit zerflossen und geschwebt, |
which first dissolved and floated in grief, |
Vergißt den Schmerz |
forget the pain |
Und sinnt auf Freudenlieder; |
and imagine songs of joy; |
Denn unser Heiland lebet wieder. |
for our Savior lives again. |
