Jesus Christus unser Heiland,
der von uns den Gottes Zorn wandt,
durch das bitter Leiden sein
half er uns aus der Höllen Pein.
Dass wir nimmer des vergessen,
gab er uns sein Leib zu essen,

About Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, BWV 363 (Chorale)|{{NoCo|Chorals of the German Organ Mass (Clavier Übung III)
The German words of this chorale setting express profound gratitude for Christ's sacrifice. They recall how Jesus turned God's wrath away from humanity through his suffering, saving us from hell. The text emphasizes that to ensure we never forget this gift, Christ gave us his body and blood, hidden in the bread and wine. It urges us to praise God the Father for this act of sending his Son to die for our sins. This SATB setting by Johann Sebastian Bach is a powerful meditation on the sacrament of Holy Communion and the redemptive power of Christ's love.
