Jeremy Filsell, Fifth Avenue, New York and Saint Thomas Choir of Men & Boys - Chorale: Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam

"Christ, unser Herr, zum Jordan kam
Nach seines Vaters Willen
Von Sanct Johann's die Taufe nahm
Sein Werk und Amt zu erfüllen
Da wollt' er stiften uns ein Bad
Zu waschen uns von Sünden
Ersäufen auch den bittern Tod
Durch sein selbst Blut und Wunden
Es galt ein neues Leben

Christ our Lord came to the Jordan
In accordance with his father's will
He received baptism from Saint John
To fulfil his work and ministry
By this he wanted to establish for us a bath
To wash us from our sins
To drown also bitter death
Through his own blood and wounds
This meant a new life"

Johann Sebastian Bach
