- Durch Adams Fall ist ganz verderbt
[3:20]
Four-voice slow setting, arresting because of the pipe qualities and the multi-release capture of the acoustic space. Manual: Principale Bassi e
Soprani + Ottava + Decima IX + Flavto in VIII + Flavto in XII; for repeat theDecima IX + Flavto in VIII were withdrawn; after repeat the Ventil (whose
red switches had been a convenient marker for what could be loaded in memory) was activated, in effect the first combination + Pedal Contrabassi for
the ending. Gabler Temperament.

German:
Durch Adams Fall ist ganz verderbt
Menschlich' Natur und Wesen,
Dasselb' Gift ist auf uns geerbt,
Dass wir nicht konnt'n genesen
Ohn' Gottes Trost,
Der uns erlöst
Hat von dem grossen Schaden,
Darein die Schlang'
Evan bezwang,
Gott's Zorn auf sich zu laden.
English:
When Adam fell, the human race
Was doomed to condemnation;
Bereft were we of innocence,
Sin's poison wrought destruction,
But thanks to God,
Who spares the rod,
From death have we been taken.
The Serpent Eve
Didst once deceive
Beholds his power shaken.
