Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, der von uns by Balthasar Resinarius — Lyrics
Jesus Christus, nostra salus,
quod reclamat omnis malus,
nobis in sui memoriam
dedit in panis hostiam.
O quam sanctus panis iste,
tu solus es, Jesu Christe,
panis cibus sacramentum,
quo nunquam majus inventum.
Hoc donum suavitatis
caritasque deitatis,
virtus et eukaristia,
communionis gracia.
Ave deitatis forma,
Dei unitas norma,
in te quisque delectatur,
qui te fide speculatur.
Non est panis, sed es Deus
homo liberator reus,
qui in cruce pependisti
et in carne deficisti.

About Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, der von uns
This setting of the German eucharistic hymn Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, der von uns, also known as the "Lutheran Mass", is suitable for liturgical occasions. The STTB voicing offers a rich sound for this profound text, which speaks of Christ as our salvation, the bread of remembrance and the sacrament of communion. The opening lines, originally in Latin, are echoed in the German title and emphasize the divine nature of the eucharist, a gift of sweetness and grace. Resinarius presents a devotional contemplation on the nature of Christ as both God and man, the bread of angels and the light of saints, confirming the ancient figures through modern understanding.
