Lyrics

Nun wir mein liebster Bräutigam

Nun wird der Held aus Davids Stamm

Zum Trost, zum Heil der Erden

Einmal geboren werden

Nun wird der Stern aus Jakob scheinen

Sein Strahl bricht schon hervor

Auf Zion

Und verlasse nun das Weinen

Dein Wohl steigt hoch empor!

Written by: Johann Sebastian Bach
