- Chorale Text
German:
Christ, der du bist der helle Tag,
vor dir die Nacht nicht bleiben mag ;
du leuchtest uns vom Vater her
und bist des Lichtes Prediger.
Erasmus Alber - 1536
English:
Christ, you who are the bright day,
Before you the night may not endure,
You illumine us from the Father
And are the preacher of light.
