Select language to translate this lyric
Our Shepherd is departed, the fount of living water,)
at whose passing the sun was darkened,
For even he was made captive who was holding captive the first man. Today our Savior breaks both the gates of death and the locks. />(Today the gates of death and their bars
as well our Savior has destroyed.)
He has destroyed the strongholds of the underworld
and he has overthrown the powers of the devil.
