“Christ ist erstanden” (Christ is risen) is a German Easter hymn, and is possibly the oldest Christian liturgical German song. It has inspired music by composers such as Ludwig Senfl and Heinrich Schütz (from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries respectively) through to modern composers such as Oskar Gottlieb Blarr and Enjott Schneider, and has appeared in 45 hymnals, including the current German Catholic and Protestant hymnals. Translations and paraphrases include a version by Catherine Winkworth which has appeared in 231 hymnals. “Christ ist erstanden” also inspired Martin Luther to write “Christ lag in Todes Banden”, deriving the melody from it.

It was also the victory anthem of the Teutonic Order.

Christ ist erstanden
von der Marter alle!
Des solln wir alle froh sein,
Christ soll unser Trost sein.
Kyrioleis.

Wär er nicht erstanden,
so wär die Welt vergangen.
Seit daß er erstanden ist,
so freut sich alles, was da ist.
Kyrioleis.

Alleluja,
alleluja,
alleluja!
Des solln wir alle froh sein,
Christ soll unser Trost sein.
Kyrioleis.
