German:
Jesus Christus, unser Heiland,
der von uns den Zorn Gottes wand,
durch das bitter Leiden sein
half er uns aus der Höllen Pein,
Do sollst glauben und nicht wanken,
Dass es Speise sei den Kranken,
Den'n ihr Herz von Sünden schwer
Und vor Angst ist betrübet sehr.
--German version of John Huss's hymn
Jesus Christus nostra salus
by Martin Luther, Erfurt, 1524
English:
Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour
Who freed us from the wrath of God;
By His bitter grief and death
Saved us from the pains of Hell.
Thou shalt hold Thy faith unshaken
That Communion thus be taken
By the sick with sinful heart,
Full of woe and torn apart.
--composite
Recorded directly with MIDI-enabled Pipe Organ
