The chorale is in the Tenor voice, in very long notes. This setting is a bit esoteric; it would take several hearings to pick up all the subtleties. Registration: LH (Chorale) Zwelwerk Schalmei 8'; RH Hoofdwerk Holpijp 8' + Octaaf 4'; Pedaal Subbas 16' + Gedekt 8'. Midi File available. Instrument: Vermeulen Brothers Organ at Congregation "Vloedschuur," Heteren, Holland (1959) - Samples by Hauptwerk.nl

This music has always been free for the asking but now I must ask for a little support; it will help me to continue offering music for your enjoyment.

Chorale Text
German:
Christe, aller Welt Trost
Uns Sünder allein du hast erlöst.
O Jesu, Gottes Sohn,
Unser Mittler bist in dem höchsten Thron;
Zu dir schreien wir aus Herzensbegier:
Eleison, eleison!

English:
Kyrie, O Christ, our King,
Salvation for sinners Thou didst bring.
O Lord Jesus, God's own Son,
Our Mediator at the heav'nly throne,
Hear our cry and grant our supplication.
Eleison, eleison!
