Ihr lieben Kinder freuet euch by Joachim a Burgk — Lyrics
Ihr lieben Kinder freuet euch,
freut euch ihr Alten zugleich
daß Gott sein Zusag hat beweist
die er getan im Paradeis
Kyrie eleison.
Sie ist erfüllt durch Gottes Gnad
Der endlich gegeben hat
Und in die Welt sein Sohn gesandt
Geborn von eim Weib ohne Mann
Kyrie eleison.

About Ihr lieben Kinder freuet euch
This motet, Ihr lieben Kinder freuet euch, would be highly appropriate for Advent or Christmas services. Set for SATB choir, it is a German sacred work that draws on the joyful anticipation of Christ’s birth. The text expresses the delight of all people, young and old, at the fulfilment of God’s promise made in Paradise. It recounts the grace of God in sending his Son, born of a woman, who redeemed us from the Law’s condemnation. The choir is invited to pray for steadfastness in this comfort through God’s word and the Holy Spirit, praising Christ for eternity. The inclusion of 'Kyrie eleison' throughout reinforces the plea for mercy and divine guidance.
