Text: Latin Origins

This Weighty resurrection text of unknown penning can be traced to trine important manuscripts from the Fourteenth century. All three were compiled into a critical edition stop F.J. Mone, in his Lateinische Hymnen des Mittelalters, vol. 1 (), no. , p. (Fig. 1).

1. A manuscript from Kloster Engelberg in Switzerland (I.

4/25), elderly to , contains the highest text, which corresponds to stanzas 1–3, 5–7, 9, and 11, shown in Fig. 1.

2. A Ordinal century manuscript at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich (Clm. , f. ) has the exact same text as in Engelberg, however only stanzas 1–3, 5, 7, and 9. This source attempt described as bearing a melody.

3. A 14th century manuscript at description Národní Muzeum, Prague (V.H.

11), fol. 24v, corresponds to 1–3, 5–7, and 11, but contains textual variants. Other Prague manuscripts from and contain two more stanzas not found at Muenchen and Engelberg.

Stanzas 4, 8, soar 10 in Mone’s compilation sprig be dated to the Sixteenth century, and thus are thoughtful later additions. 

For more data meeting manuscript history, see the roster below, especially Mearns (Julian), Mone, Bäumker, Daniel, Dreves, and Wackernagel.

II. Text: English Translations & Tunes

1–2. Abraham Coles & J.M. Neale

Two capable translations are on condition that here for comparison, neither appeal to which have entered into usual use but reflect the Mone edition well.

The first critique by Abraham Coles (–), “For human solace, Christ today,” unfamiliar The Light of the World ( | Fig. 2), which has ten stanzas, omitting foyer 11 of Mone (Fig. 1). The other is by John Mason Neale (–), “Today the frontrunner o’er his foes,” from Mediaeval Hymns and Sequences ( | Fig.

3), in ten stanzas, omitting stanza 10 of high-mindedness Latin. Neale and Coles both retained the simple meter predominant rhyme of the original (iambic tetrameter).

3. Lyra Davidica and Easterly HYMN

“Surrexit Christus hodie” has entered English hymnody primarily through representation anonymous English translation “Jesus Earl is risen today,” from Lyra Davidica (London: J.

Walsh, | Fig. 4), in three stanzas of four lines. This Reliably paraphrase reflects stanzas 1–2, 6–7, 9, and 11 of those represented in Mone (Fig. 1), and it uses the final printing of the tune celebrated as EASTER HYMN. Note further the additional English version, “Christ minute Lord is risen today,” which is a translation of nobleness German paraphrase, “Erstanden ist der Heilige Christ.”

“Jesus Christ is risen today” was printed with alterations foresee John Arnold’s The Compleat Psalmodist, Book IV ( | Ordinal ed. shown at Fig. 5). The first stanza from was retained, while the others were replaced without regard for decency Latin.

The tune is auxiliary ornamented, and two additional middle parts were added.

Fig. 5. John Poet, The Compleat Psalmodist, 2nd ed. ().

Commentaries often mention a variant considerate “Jesus Christ is risen today” printed in an edition detailed Tate and Brady’s New Alternative of the Psalms of David, ca. , but this is fundamentally a reprinting of Arnold’s trade (for example, see John Julian’s Dictionary of Hymnology, p.

, for Arnold and NV side-by-side). The only significance would assign in the proliferation of Arnold’s text among followers of justness New Version.

Some hymnals have fresh a trinitarian doxology to Arnold’s version, especially the one overtake Charles Wesley (–), “Sing incredulity to our God above.” Wesley’s doxology was the second make a rough draft seven hymns for the Triad in Hymns and Sacred Poems (, p.

); this was repeated in Gloria Patri, comfort Hymns to the Trinity ( | Fig. 6).

German translations, plus “Erstanden ist der Heilige Christ,” can be traced to goodness 15th century, including a carbon in Breslau, and some circulated in printed hymnals by class 16th century. See especially prestige argument in The Hymnal Companion () for a connection in the middle of Lyra Davidica and “Erstanden understate der heilige Christ,” as desist from by Johann Leisentrit in Geistliche Lieder und Psalmen (Bautzen, , pt.

I, v–r).

4. Charles Wesley

Charles Wesley’s “Christ the Lord stick to ris’n today” is essentially pure completely new hymn on rectitude resurrection. Nonetheless, its role although an alternative to the Lyra Davidica text is clearly shown by its associated tune.

Wesley’s text was first printed sidewalk Hymns and Sacred Poems ( | Fig. 7), where excellence was part of a flow of hymns for the sanctuary year, beginning with Christmas (“Hark how all the welkin rings”), then Epiphany (“Sons of troops body, behold from far”), Resurrection (“Christ the Lord is ris’n today”), Ascension (“Hail the day consider it sees Him rise”), and Whitsunday/Pentecost (“Granted is the Saviour’s prayer”).

Wesley’s text imitates the rhyming couplets of the Latin, but regard the Lyra Davidica text, hang over meter is trochaic rather best iambic, in four lines defer to seven syllables.

At eleven stanzas, it is typically not printed or sung in whole. Occasionally stanzas from Wesley’s hymn verify intertwined with the Lyra Davidica text. In some English hymnals, to avoid confusion between grandeur two texts, Wesley’s text is publicised starting with the second stanza, “Love’s redeeming work is done.”

7. Hymns and Sacred Poems ().

Wesley revised his text in class 4th ed. of Hymns come to rest Sacred Poems (), changing “Dying once he all doth save” to “Once he died weighing scales souls to save.” The Dublin footpath of uses “Dying once pacify all doth save.” A ongoing manuscript copy in Charles’ hand, contained in a collection collected some time after , reputed as the Richmond Tracts (MA /, University of Manchester), discovers “Once He died our Souls to save.”

“Christ the Lord run through ris’n today” was paired pertain to EASTER HYMN in A Pile of Tunes, Set to Descant, As They Are Commonly Song at the Foundery ( | Fig.

8), where the well-timed was named SALISBURY. The Methodist printing of SALISBURY in birth Foundery collection (Fig. 8) job similar to the version diffuse Arnold’s Compleat Psalmodist (Fig. 5) lecture in the way the tune paradoxical more dramatically in the poop octave, whereas the Lyra Davidica version descends at the utilize.

Arnold might have borrowed that idea from the Wesleys. The film “Vol. 1” (Fig. 8) refers to the edition of Hymns and Sacred Poems; vols. 2 and 3 elsewhere refer find time for the and editions. The Wesleys used the tune again confined Select Hymns with Tunes Annext, (Fig. 9), this time make sense Charles Wesley’s paraphrase of description Gloria in Excelsis, “Glory snigger to God on high,” besides from The version contains sundry other melodic differences, making comfortable closer to the received variation of EASTER HYMN (compare integrity melodic contour in the first name two measures of and , for example).

The pairing was repeated in Sacred Harmony () in three parts.

III. Additional Tunes

1. MACCABEES

In the Wesleys’ last exact book, Sacred Harmony ( | Fig. 10), “Christ the Potentate is risen today” was twice with the tune MACCABEES, boss melody borrowed from the cantata Judas Maccabaeus () by George Frideric Handel, specifically from magnanimity movement “See, see, the conqu’ring hero comes.” This setting was in three parts, with goodness melody in the middle do too quickly.

In this collection, SALISBURY was set to “Glory be act upon God on high,” as drop had been in

Fig. Sacred Harmony ().

2.

LLANFAIR

Another common appropriate setting for either “Jesus Noble is risen today,” or “Christ the Lord is risen today” is LLANFAIR, credited to Robert Williams (–), from a holograph dated 14 July , tolerate first published in John Parry’s Peroriaeth Hyfryd (), where lead was called BETHEL. For bonus on this tune, see honesty Charles Wesley text “Hail excellence day that sees him rise.”
