Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750):
DURCH DEIN GEFÄNGNIS
This is chorale no. 7 from the St. John Passion.
Durch dein Gefängnis, Gottes Sohn,
Muss uns die Freiheit kommen;
Dein Kerker ist der Gnadenthron,
Die Freistatt aller Frommen;
Denn gingst du nicht die Knechtschaft ein,
Müßt unsre Knechtschaft ewig sein.
Through this thy prison, Son of God,
Must come to us our freedom;
Thy dungeon is the throne of grace,
The refuge of the righteous;
For hadst thou not borne servitude,
Would we be slaves eternally.
(Christian Heinrich Postel, 1658-1705) (?)
