Verse 1
Jesus Christ, who came to save,
And overcame the grave, Is now arisen,
And sin hath bound in prison.
Kyri' eleison.
Verse 2
Who withouten sin was found,
Bore our transgression's wound.
He is our Savior,
And brings us to God's favor.
Kyri' eleison.
Verse 3
Life and mercy, sin and death,
All in His hands He hath;
Them He'll deliver,
Who trust in Him forever. Kyri' eleison.
