Instrument: F. X. Engelfried Organ, Gönningen/Baden-Württemberg/Germany (1844) - 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
