    Part of an ongoing effort at transcribing Bach's Liturgical Year for sampled instruments.

    Lyrics
    German:
    Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland,
    Der Jungfrauen Kind erkannt,
    Dess sich wundert alle Welt,
    Gott solch Geburt ihm Bestellt.
    --by Martin Luther, 1524

    English:
    Savior of the [Gentiles], come,
    Virgin's Son, here make Thy throne,
    Wonder at it, heaven and earth,
    That the Lord chose such a birth.
    --Richard Massie
