Chvála tobě, Pane Kriste by Jan Amos Komenský — Lyrics
1. Chvála tobě, Pane Kriste,
símě panny přečisté,
žes na svět ráčil přijíti,
hadovy hlavy potříti.
Aleluja!
2. Syn Boží jednorozený,
jsa z ženy učiněný,
dle Trojice svaté rady
nese nám věčné poklady.
Aleluja!
4. Slunce nebeské jasnosti
v lidské vešlo temnosti

About Chvála tobě, Pane Kriste
Jan Amos Komenský’s Chvála tobě, Pane Kriste is a four-part setting for SATB voices in the original Czech. The text is a hymn of praise to Christ, celebrating his birth, his victory over sin and evil, and his divine nature as the light of the world. It speaks of Christ taking on human form and offering eternal treasures through God’s divine plan. The lyrical content emphasizes faith as the key to receiving God’s gifts and to finding joy and salvation. The composer’s setting uses the text to express profound theological ideas in a deeply devotional manner, culminating in a call for faithful hearts to rejoice and sing praises to God.
