Heut triumphieret Gottes Sohn

"Heut triumphieret Gottes Sohn" ("This Day in Triumph God the Son")[1] is a Lutheran hymn for Easter.

Although hymnologists sometimes doubt his authorship, Stolzhagen (1550–1594) would have written "Heut triumphieret Gottes Sohn" in 1591.

[2][3][4] In 1592, Stolzhagen published the text as an Easter hymn (German: "Lied von der Auferstehung Christi", "song of the resurrection of Christ").

[2][7] In 1601, Gesius published a five-part setting (SSATB) of the hymn in the section about Easter of his Geistliche Deutsche Lieder (German spiritual songs).

[6][11][12] Cantatas based on the hymn were written by Dieterich Buxtehude (BuxWV 43, setting the text of the first stanza) and Christoph Graupner (GWV 1129/15).
