[from the Heirs of the Reformation CD, this is a powerful and beautiful piece! The Alleluias on the recording are endlessly jubilant - a setting by Lutheran composer Melchior Vulpius.]
Today is risen Christ the Lord; Alleluia!
He doth for all men hope afford. Alleluia!
The pangs of death He did endure, Alleluia!
And gave to mortal men a cure. Alleluia!
"Go, bring His disciples word: Alleluia!
Today is risen Christ the Lord!" Alleluia!
Now let us in these Easter days, Alleluia!
To Triune God bring joyful praise. Alleluia!
It's beautiful, as are many of the other pieces on these CDs.
ReplyDeleteI learned of two of my special treasures through reading Weeden's Blog (the "Heirs of the Reformation" 4-CD Set, and O.P. Kretzmann's "The Pilgrim") and I thank you.
Thanks, Donna. Aren't they both WONDERFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteOh great. Another item to add to my wish list!
ReplyDeleteBut not to be missed, I am sure!
