This is the last verse of the Easter hymn "Christ Jesus lay in death's strong bands"
(Christ lag in Todesbanden).
Wir essen und wir leben wohl im rechten Osterfladen.
Der alte Saureteig nicht soll sein bei dem Wort der Ganden.
Christus will die Koste sein und speisen die Seel allein.
Der Glaub will keins andern leben.
Alleluia.
We now eat and live in the right Easter bread.
The old sour dough will not remain together with the word of grace.
Christ himself will be the food and he alone will feed the soul.
Faith wants to live upon no other.
Alleluia.

Amen, and amen!
Beautiful...just beautiful!
Thanks, Brigitte!
It's a blessing for me to find these pieces on Youtube and post profound music like this. I've been humming this song the last few days. It goes with you through thick and thin.
