Part I
Martin Flämig Theo Adam & Dresdner Philharmonie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
(Wer will die Liebe recht erhöhn,
Die unser Heiland vor uns hegt?)
Dass er unser sich erbarm,
(Ja, wer vermag es einzusehen,
Wie ihn der Menschen Leid bewegt?)
Und in dem Himmel mache reich,
(Des Höchsten Sohn kömmt in die Welt,
Und seinen lieben Engeln gleich.
(So will er selbst als Mensch geboren werden.)
Kyrieleis!
These lyrics are a part of the song "Part I" composed by Martin Flämig and performed by Theo Adam and Dresdner Philharmonie. The lyrics reflect on the humble arrival of Jesus Christ on Earth and his purpose to show mercy towards humanity. The beginning of the song acknowledges that Jesus came to Earth in a poor and humble manner. It poses a question about who can truly understand and elevate the love that our Savior has for us. Despite his divinity, Jesus came down to Earth to have compassion and mercy on human beings, showing understanding for their suffering.
The following lines express the desire for Jesus to make people rich in Heaven, similar to his beloved angels. This can be interpreted as a reference to Jesus wanting to save humanity and grant them eternal life alongside him. The repetition of "Kyrieleis!" at the end emphasizes the plea for mercy and forgiveness, as Kyrieleis is a Greek phrase that translates to "Lord, have mercy."
