Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, der den Tod by Johann Hermann Schein — Lyrics
Jesus Christus, unser Heiland,
der den Tod überwand,
ist auferstanden,
die Sünd hat er gefangen.
Kyrie eleison.
Der ohn Sünden war geboren,
trug für uns Gottes Zorn,
hat uns versöhnet,

About Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, der den Tod
This powerful German hymn by Johann Hermann Schein is suitable for Eastertide, reflecting on Christ's victory over death and sin. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic expression as the text proclaims Jesus as our saviour who has overcome death and captured sin. The lyrics speak of Christ's incarnation, his bearing of God's wrath for us, and his atoning sacrifice which reconciles us to God. The final stanza emphasizes Christ's dominion over death, sin, and the devil, and his ability to save all who come to him, fittingly concluding each verse with 'Kyrie eleison'.
