- Nun komm der heiden Heiland
[1:17]
Playful fragments of the Chorale permeate the three-voice manual part (Hoofdwerk: Prestant 8' + Octaaf 4' + Mixtuur 3 st.), and a slow moving,
dynamically expressive Chorale sounds an octave higher in the Pedaal (coupled from Zwelwerk Schalmei 8' + Gemshoorn 8' + Sesquialter 2 st.).

Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland,
Der Jungfrauen Kind erkannt,
Dess sich wundert alle Welt,
Gott solch Geburt ihm Bestellt.

Savior of the [Gentiles], come,
Virgin's Son, here make Thy throne,
Wonder at it, heaven and earth,
That the Lord chose such a birth.
