Der Morgenstern ist aufgedrungen by Carl Thiel — Lyrics
Der Morgenstern ist aufgedrungen,
er leucht' daher zu dieser Stunde
hoch über Berg und tiefe Tal,
vor Freud singt uns der lieben Engel Schar.
Christus im Himmel wohl bedachte,
wie er uns reich und selig machte,

About Der Morgenstern ist aufgedrungen
Carl Thiel's SATB setting of Der Morgenstern ist aufgedrungen is a sacred German partsong. The text, a hymn of praise, celebrates the arrival of the Morning Star, symbolizing Christ's coming and his redemption of humanity. It speaks of the joy of the angelic host and the profound grace of Christ's sacrifice, which brought us back to paradise. The choir is invited to sing with joyful melodies, acknowledging the light that shines for all, near and far, and to implore Christ, the Morning Star, to shine upon us too. This piece would be fitting for a Christmas or Epiphany service, or indeed any occasion when the light of Christ is being proclaimed.
