Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, der den Tod überwand by Johannes Eccard — 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,

About Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, der den Tod überwand
Johannes Eccard's sacred hymn Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, der den Tod überwand is set for SSAAT voices in German. The text celebrates Christ's victory over death and sin, proclaiming his resurrection and atonement for humanity. It describes Christ's birth without sin, his bearing of God's wrath for us, and his reconciliation of humankind to God's grace. The final stanza emphasizes Christ's dominion over death, sin, the devil, life, and grace, asserting his power to save all who turn to him. The recurring plea Kyrie eleison frames these declarations of faith and salvation.
