- Nun komm der heiden Heiland
[1:13] (A=465)
Playful fragments of the Chorale permeate the three-voice manual part (Hauptwerk: Rohrflöte 8' + Spitzflöte 4' + Octava 2' + Cymbeln II),
and a slow moving Chorale sounds an octave higher in the Pedal Trommete 8'.

German:
Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland,
Der Jungfrauen Kind erkannt,
Dess sich wundert alle Welt,
Gott solch Geburt ihm Bestellt.
--by Martin Luther, 1524
English:
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.
--Richard Massie
