O Lamm Gottes unschuldig, BWV 1095 Click to Listen, [2:16]
Very gentle setting quite different from the towering BWV 656 from the Leipzig Chorales. It has been rearranged from a one-manual piece by placing the Chorale on the Great Cornet and the lowest line of the left hand on the Pedal. From the Neumeister Chorale Collection. Instrument: Casavant, Opus 3246 (1975) at Grace Lutheran Church, Champaign, Illinois - Samples by Brett Milan

Chorale Text
Verses 1. and 2.
O Lamm Gottes, unschuldig,
am Stamm des Kreuzes geschlachtet,
Allzeit erfund'n geduldig,
Wie wohl du warest verachtet;
All Sünd hast du getragen,
sonst müssten wir verzagen.
Erbarm dich unser, o Jesu!

Verse 3.
Gib uns deinen Frieden o Jesu!
--Nicolaus Rostock, 1531

Verses 1. and 2.
O Lamb of God all holy,
Who on the Cross didst suffer,
And patient still and lowly,
Thyself to scorn didst offer:
Our sins by Thee were taken,
Or hope had us forsaken:
Have mercy upon us, o Jesu.

Verse 3.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesu.
--Arthur Tozer Russell (1806-1874)
