Kad Jēzus nāk, lai kristītos by William Henry Monk — Lyrics
1. Kad Jēzus nāk, lai kristītos,
Viņš ardievas teic pagātnei
un atstāj dzīvi mierīgo,
lai ļaužu grēkus uzņemtos.
2. No debesīm nāk Kunga Gars,
lai svaidītu To ciešanām.
Viņš Kunga Vārdu sludinās
un noskumušos mierinās.

About Kad Jēzus nāk, lai kristītos
This sacred choral setting of a Christmas text in Latvian captures the profound moment of Jesus' baptism, where he leaves his peaceful life to embrace the sins of humanity. The lyrics describe the descent of the Holy Spirit to anoint him for suffering and to proclaim God's word, bringing comfort to the sorrowful. It speaks of Jesus' gentle compassion, healing the wounded and overcoming death. The music reflects the awe and praise directed towards God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, united in the Trinity. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonies to convey the spiritual depth and devotional nature of this Christmas-themed piece.
