Text
Auf, auf, mein Herz,
mit Freuden nimm wahr,
was heut geschieht;
wie kommt nach großem Leiden
nun ein so großes Licht!
Mein Heiland war gelegt
da,
wo man uns hinträgt,
wenn von uns unser Geist
gen Himmel ist gereist
Er war ins Grab gesenket,
der Feind trieb groß Geschrei;
eh er's vermeint und denket,
ist Christus wieder frei
und ruft "Viktoria",
schwingt fröhlich hier und da
sein Fähnlein als ein Held,
der Feld und Mut behält.
English translation.
Open, open, my heart,
learn with joy,
what is happening today;
how, after great suffering,
comes such great light!
My Savior was laid
where we are carried,
when our spirit has traveled
from us to heaven.
He was buried in the grave,
And the enemy raised a loud shout;
Before he understands it and thinks it,
Christ is free again
and calls "Victory",
Joyously waving his banner here and there
as a hero who holds
his field and courage.
