- Chorale Text
German:
Gottes Sohn ist kommen
uns Allen zu Frommen
hie auf diesen Erden
in armen Geberden,
dass er uns von Sünde
freie und entbinde.
English:
Once He came in blessing,
All our ills redressing,
Came in likeness lowly,
Son of God most holy;
Bore the cross to save us,
Hope and freedom gave us.
--Tr. Cath. Winkworth, 1862
