J. S. Bach - Cantata "Christ Lag In Todesbanden" BWV 4 - 4. Jesus Christus, Gottes Sohn (4/8)

For first day of easter. Martin Luther, the eight verses of the hymn, 1524 (Wackernagel, III, #15)
First annual cycle (Leipzig 1723-24)

Verse 3 (T)
Jesus Christ is God's own Son,
To our abode he cometh
And hath all sin now set aside,
Whereby from death is taken
All his rule and all his might;
Here bideth nought but death's mere form,
His sting hath fully perished.
Hallelujah!
