Herr Christ der einig Gottes Sohn by Anonymous — Lyrics
Herr Christ, der einig Gottes Sohn
Vaters in Ewigkeit,
Aus seim Herzen entsprossen,
Gleichwie geschrieben steht:
Er ist der Morgensterne,
Sein’ Glänzen streckt er ferne
Für andern Sternen klar.

About Herr Christ der einig Gottes Sohn
This anonymous German hymn for SST voices is a profound meditation on the nature and sacrifice of Christ. Its text, likely dating from the late medieval period or Reformation, speaks of Jesus as the unique Son of God, born of the Father's heart and shining brighter than any star. The lyrics emphasize his humanity, born in the final times to save humanity from eternal damnation. Through his death, Christ has broken the power of death, opened the gates of heaven, and restored life, offering redemption and hope to all believers. The straightforward structure and deeply devotional message make it a powerful piece for sacred settings.
