The chorale is sounded in the Pedal, first against the Hinterwerk and later against the Hauptwerk. Lacking a Trompette in the Pedal, the following registration was used: Hinterwerk Full; Chorale on empty Pedal coupled to Hauptwerk: Principal 8' + Rohrflöte 4' + Progressio Harmonica 2-3 fach; when hands move to the Hauptwerk, Gedactbass 8' + Violon 8' are added to the Pedal. Instrument: F. A. Mehmel Village Church Organ, St. Andreas Church, Nehringen Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany (1868) -
Samples by Prof. Helmut Maier

Chorale Text
German:
Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ,
Dass du Mensch geboren bist,
Von einer Jungfrau, dass ist wahr,
Des freuet sich der Engel Schaar.
Kyrie-eleis.

English:
All praise to Jesus’ hallowed name,
Who of virgin pure became,
True man for us! The angels sing,
As the glad news to earth they bring.
Alleluia.
--Tr. R. Massi
