M. Luther - Easter hymnody

from THE_EASTER_BOOK (1954)

translated from German

It was a strange and wondrous war,

When death and Life did battle.

With royal might did Life prevail,

Made death His knave and chattle/

The sacred Book foretold it all:

How death by death should come to fall.

Now death is laughed to scorn!
