Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - From Faust - III. Chorus Of AngelsJohann Wolfgang von Goethe - From Faust - III. Chorus Of Angels
Work rating: Low


CHRIST is arisen! Mortal, all hail! Thou, of Earth`s prison Dreary and frail, Bursting the veil, Proudly hast risen! CHORUS OF WOMEN. Rich spices and myrrh, To embalm Him we brought; His corpse to inter His true followers sought. In pure cerements shrin`d, `Twas placed in the bier But, alas! we now find That Christ is not here. CHORUS OF ANGELS. Christ is arisen! Speechless His love. Who to Earth`s prison Came from above, Trials to prove. Now is He risen! CHORUS OF YOUTHS. Death`s gloomy portal Now hath He rended,-- Living, immortal, Heavenward ascended; Freed from His anguish, Sees He God`s throne; We still must languish, Earthbound, alone. Now that He`s reft us, Heart-sad we pine; Why hast Thou left us, Master divine? CHORUS OF ANGELS. Christ is arisen,   Death hath He slain; Burst ye your prison,   Rend ye each chain! Songs of praise lead ye,-- Love to show, heed ye,-- Hungry ones feed ye,-- Preaching, on speed ye,-- Coming joys plead ye,-- Then is the Master near, Then is He here!
