Thank you, my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting The Monteverdi Choir performance of Johann Sebastian Bach's 'Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland'
"The Monteverdi Choir
The English Baroque Soloists
John Eliot Gardiner, conductor

First performed December 3, 1724 in Leipzig, Bach composed the church cantata Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland [Now come, Savior of the heathens] (BWV 62) for the first Sunday in Advent. The chorale cantata is based on Martin Luther's Advent hymn "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland."

Deutsch
Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland,
Der Jungfrauen Kind erkannt,
Des sich wundert alle Welt,
Gott solch Geburt ihm bestellt.

English
Now come, Savior of the heathens,
known as the Virgin's child,
over whom the whole world marvels,
that God had ordained such a birth for Him."
