	Story Behind the Song Part of an ongoing series of transcriptions of Bach's Liturgical Year for sampled instruments. Lyrics German: Christus, der uns selig macht, kein Bös's hat begangen, Der ward für uns in der Nacht als ein Dieb gefangen, Gefüuhrt vor gottlose Leut' und fälschlich verklaget, Verlacht, verhöhnt und verspeit, wie denn die Schrift saget. English: See the Lord of Life and Light, Savior meek and lowly, Taken like a thief at night, Bound by hands ubholy, See the sinless Son of God Shameful mockings bearing, Bitter taunts, a cruel rod, Doom of sinners sharing. -Tr. J. Troutbeck
