Catholic hymn for Easter

"Christus ist erstanden! O tönt" (Christ is risen! O sound) is a Catholic hymn for Easter. It was written as a paraphrase of the Easter sequence Victimae paschali laudes, and appeared in 1816 by Johann Weinzierl. A melody was composed by Paul Schniebel in 1826.[1] The first of six stanzas begins: Christus ist erstanden! O tönt, ihr Jubellieder, tönt!.[1] The hymn is similar to Schubert's Deutsche Messe in its idea to provide singable hymns in German for the congregational.[1]
