Brockes Passion by George Fredrick Handel — Lyrics
Mich vom Stricke meiner Sünde zu entbinden,
wird mein Gott gebunden.
Von der Laster Eiterbeulen mich zu heilen,
lässt er sich verwunden.
Es muss, meiner Sünden Flecken zu bedecken,
eignes Blut ihn färben,
ja, es will, ein ewig Leben mir zu geben,
selbst das Leben sterben.
Evangelist:
Als Jesu nun zu Tische saß
und er das Osterlamm, das Bild von seinem Tod,
mit seinem Jüngern aße,
nahm er das Brot,
Und wie er es, dem Höchsten dankend, brach,
gab er es ihnen hin und sprach:
Jesus:
Das ist mein Leib: Kommt, nehmet, esset,
damit ihr meiner nicht vergesset.
Tochter Zion:
Der Gott, dem alle Himmelskreise,

About Brockes Passion
This setting of the Brockes Passion presents a deeply personal reflection on Christ's sacrifice. The German text focuses on the theological meaning behind the Passion events, highlighting how Christ's suffering and death are directly linked to humanity's redemption. The opening lines convey the profound paradox of divine love, where God willingly endures suffering to free humankind from sin and its consequences. The excerpt includes recitative passages from the Evangelist, setting the scene of the Last Supper, and the words of Jesus, instituting the Eucharist, as well as a chorale response. Scored for SATB choir, this work offers a powerful contemplation of Lenten themes and the redemptive power of Christ's blood.
