Das ist je gewisslich wahr by Wolfgang Carl Briegel — Lyrics
Das ist je gewißlich wahr und ein teuer wertes Wort, daß Christus Jesus kommen ist in die Welt, die Sünder selig zu machen, unter welchen ich der fürnehmste bin.
Aber darum ist mir Barmherzigkeit widerfahren,auf daß an mir fürnehmlich Jesus Christus erzeigete alle Geduld zum Exempel denen, die an ihn gläuben sollen zum ewigen Leben.

About Das ist je gewisslich wahr
The text of this sacred cantata movement expresses profound gratitude and humility. It focuses on the Christian belief that Jesus came into the world to save sinners, and that the composer, through his own experience, has received mercy as an example to others who will believe. The SATB choir sings in German, proclaiming glory and praise to God. Wolfgang Carl Briegel’s setting is a powerful affirmation of faith, suitable for a choir seeking meaningful and textually rich repertoire. The music provides a robust and devotional setting for these deeply felt words.
