Part 8, Wir Essen Und Leben Wohl
Then let us feast this Easter day
On the true Bread of Heaven;

Faith lives upon no other! Alleluia!

Part 6, Hier Ist Das Rechte Osterlamm
Here the true Paschal Lamb we see,
Whom God so freely gave us;
He died on the accursed tree—
So strong His love!—to save us.
See, His blood doth mark our door;
Faith points to it, Death passes over,
And Satan cannot harm us. Alleluia!

Part 5, Es War Ein Wunderlicher Krieg
It was a strange and dreadful strife
When life and death contended;
The victory remained with life;
The reign of death was ended.
Stripped of power, no more it reigns,
An empty form alone remains
Death’s sting is lost forever! Alleluia!

Part 4, Jesus Christus, Gottes Sohn
But Jesus Christ, God’s only Son,
To our low state descended,
The cause of Death He has undone,
His power forever ended,
Ruined all his right and claim
And left him nothing but the name,
His sting is lost forever. Alleluia!
