	1. Jesus Christus unser Heiland,
	Der den Tod ueberwand,
	Ist auferstanden,
	Die Suend' hat er gefangen.
	Kyrie eleison!

	2. Der ohn' Suenden war gebor'n,
	Trug fuer uns Gottes Zorn,
	Hat uns versoehnet,
	Dass Gott uns sein' Huld goenner.
	Kyrie eleison!

	3. Tod, Suend', Leben und Genad,
	All's in Haenden er hat,
	Er kann erretten
	Alle, die zu ihm treten.
	Kyrie eleison!
