Überwunden hat der Herr den Tod! Des Menschen Sohn und Gott Ist auferstanden! Ein Sieger auferstanden! Halleluja! Rein, entweiht von keiner Sünde nicht, Trug er des Herrn Gericht, Daß wir, von Sünden Erlöst, Gott wieder finden! Halleluja! Heil, Verwerfung, Tod und Leben, ist, Dein Werk, Gott, Jesu Christ! Du willst das Leben Den Ueberwindern geben! Halleluja!

Overwonnen heeft de Heer de dood! De Mensenzoon en God Is nu verrezen! Als winnaar nu verrezen! Halleluja! Rein, en van geen zonde ooit beticht, Droeg hij het Godsgericht, Dat wij, van zonden Verlost, God weder vonden! Halleluja! Heil, verwerping, dood en leven is Uw werk, God, Jesu Christ! Gij wilt het leven De overwinnaars geven! Halleluja!
