Gelobet seistu Jesu Christ by Bartholomeus Gesius — Lyrics
1. GElobet seistu Jesu CHrist
Das du Mensch geboren bist
Von einer Jungfraw das ist war
des frewet sich der Engel schar.
Kyrieleyson.
2. Des ewigen Vaters einig kind
Jetzt man in der Krippen find
In vnser armes fleisch und Blut
verkleidet sich das ewige gut
Kyrieleison.
3. Den aller welt kreis nie beschlos
der ligt in Marien schos
Er ist ein Kindlein worden klein
Der alle ding erhelt allein
Kyrieleison.
4. Das ewige licht geht da herein
gib[!] der welt ein newen schein
Es leucht wol mitten in der Nacht
vnd vns des lichtes kinder macht

About Gelobet seistu Jesu Christ
Bartholomeus Gesius's Gelobet seistu Jesu Christ is a sacred motet for SSATB voices, sung in German. The text rejoices in the birth of Jesus Christ, a humble event that delights the angelic hosts. It marvels that the Son of the eternal Father, who encompasses the whole world, lies in the manger, clothed in human flesh and blood. This divine light enters the world, illuminating the deepest night and making us children of light. The motet expresses profound theological concepts about Christ's incarnation, his divine nature, and his redemptive work, moving from his humble birth to his role as the one who sustains all things and leads us from sorrow to his heavenly kingdom.
