Jesu, du armes Kindelein by Adam Gumpelzhaimer — Lyrics
Jesu, du armes Kindelein,
dein Creütz sich bald anfehet,
Herodes nach dem leben dein,
mit grossem zorne stehet,
für dein müst fliehen inns ellend,
als er Tyrannisch seine hend,
an alle Kindlein leget.

About Jesu, du armes Kindelein
The words of Jesu, du armes Kindelein paint a tender scene of the infant Jesus, fleeing to Egypt to escape the wrath of Herod. The text expresses profound gratitude for this act of refuge, acknowledging that Jesus endured exile for our sake, delivering us from spiritual bondage. Adam Gumpelzhaimer sets this German hymn text for two sopranos and a bass, creating a devotional atmosphere. The music is suited for services or concerts where sacred repertoire is appreciated.
