Aus Jakobs Stamm by Michael Altenburg — Lyrics
Aus Jakobs Stamm ein Stern sehr klar
Geht heut auf und wird offenbar,
der Stern bist du, Herr Jesu Christ,
der du heut Mensch geboren bist.
R.:
Lasst uns freuen in dem Herren.
Zu Bethlehem ist kommen an
an diesem Tag der Herr, der Mann

About Aus Jakobs Stamm
This sacred motet in German for SSATB voices is ideal for the Christmas season. The text rejoices in the birth of Jesus, identifying him as the star from Jacob's line, and welcoming him as Emmanuel. The choir is invited to 'Let us rejoice in the Lord' as they reflect on Christ's humanity and divine nature. The music likely offers rich, devotional harmonies suitable for church services or festive occasions during Advent and Christmas. The composer Michael Altenburg captures the profound joy and theological significance of the Incarnation in this expressive setting.
