LASST UNS ERFRUEN is a very frequent Easter tune, here setting John Mason Neale’s translation of Claro Paschali Gaudio C5 Latin. It seems to be more usually set to PUER NOBIS NASCITUR.
The text is public domain so I’m putting up the version in CWB II. It has an extra verse and some rearrangements of lines compared to other versions I have seen and lots of alleluias.
1 That Easter day with joy was bright,
the sun shone out with fairer light, Alleluia, allelulia!
when, to their longing eyes restored,
the glad apostles saw their Lord.
Alleluia, alleluia, allelulia!
Alleluia, allelulia!
2 His risen flesh with radiance glowed,
his wounded hands and feet he showed, Alleluia, allelulia!
those scars their solemn witness gave
that Christ was risen from the grave.
Alleluia, alleluia, allelulia!
Alleluia, allelulia!
3 O Jesus, strong in gentleness,
who with your grace our hearts possess, Alleluia, allelulia!
that we will give you all our days
the willing tribute of our praise.
Alleluia, alleluia, allelulia!
Alleluia, allelulia!
4 O lord of all, with us abide
in this our joyful Eastertide; Alleluia, allelulia!
from every weapon death can wield.
your own redeemed forever shield.
Alleluia, alleluia, allelulia!
Alleluia, allelulia!
5 All praise to you, O risen Lord,
from death to endless life restored; Alleluia, allelulia!
to God the Father equal praise,
and Spirit blest, our songs we raise.
Alleluia, alleluia, allelulia!
Alleluia, allelulia!
