Two Bach chorales (bwv 625, 626)

Two Bach chorales (bwv 625 & 626)
by J.S. Bach

Christ lag in Todesbanden, BWV 625
Jesus Christus, Unser Heiland, BWV 626

In death's strong grasp the Saviour lay,
for our offences given;
But now the Lord is ris'n today,
And brings us life from heaven;
Wherefore let us all rejoice,
And praise our God with cheerful voice,
And sing loud Alleluias, Alleluia!
--Tr. C. Winkworth

Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour
Who freed us from the wrath of God;
By His bitter grief and death
Saved us from the pains of Hell.
Thou shalt hold Thy faith unshaken
That Communion thus be taken
By the sick with sinful heart,
Full of woe and torn apart.
