J.S. Bach / O Sacred Head, Now Wounded - Christian Hymns with Lyrics ( Choir )

[sam41fun]

why there is so much criticism of christian faith than other like Islam? I think Jesus Christ was right he said they will hate you and persecute you because of me.

[stack45ny]

@sam41fun Amen...exactly right.

John 15:18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you."

[15230]

@sam41fun Your suposed to Rejoice hat you have been counted worthy to suffer for Christ. Rejoice Brother!

I got here from American Tune by Simon and Garfunkel.

This guy, Jesus, has the world's record of staying on that cross for over 2000 years. Every Christian should be awarded a box of Kleenex tissues when viewing this hideous, revolting, disgusting display of a corpse.

[stack45ny]

@cobalt100 Oh no, sir. Jesus died the very same day He was put on the cross. He then was taken off the cross and buried, and on the 3rd day He rose again just as He said He would...and if you believe in Him, you too can have eternal life.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

Praying for you this day. May God bless you and yours.

@cobalt100 I find it fascinating that unbelievers are so disturbed that others believe. Freedom of religion has turned into freedom from religion to unbelievers.

Of course, the tune - composed by Hans Leo Hassler ca. 1600 - was originally written for a secular love ballad, "Mein g'mut ist mir verwirret" (loosely, "My mind is in confusion"). German composer Paul Gerhardt was the first to use it for a Passion hymn ("O haupt voll blut und wunden") some fifty years later.

@mdumas43073 Correct...I do have this information in the description. Thank you for your comment. May our Lord bless you and yours.

[medievalgirl002]

@mdumas43073 I believe the words were apapted from a Medieval poem.

[stack45ny]

@medievalgirl002 You are correct. The hymn is based on a long medieval Latin poem, Salve mundi salutare.

I remember when you uploaded this. Thanks for sharing it again, brother.

May those of us in Christ desire Him more and more...give Him honor and glory more and more.

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Check out Paul Simon's "American Tune," and you'll hear immediately where he got the melody from.

[stack45ny]

@privettricker Wow! I just listened...You're right! I was expecting a more subtle similarity, but that couldn't be less subtle.

[privettricker]

@stack45ny Well, if you're going to steal, you might as well steal from the best!

[mickieggie]

@privettricker

A lot of popular artists use music from classical composers (Manilow [Chopin]; Debarge [can't remember the composer they used for their song "A Dream"]; many people used Mozart). That's nothing new...it's flattering, really.

[bajangirl70]

@privettricker That is actually what turned me on to this hymn. It is now one of my favourites and I think that the last line is a beautiful prayer.

[JepYong83]
