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]
