Tune: Christ fuhr gen Himmel
-
Christ rose to heaven,
From whence He sent upon us
The Comforter, the Holy Ghost,
To comfort His poor Christian host,
Kyrieleis. -
Alleluia! Alleuia! Alleluia!
So shall we all right joyful be,
Christ our comfort now will be,
Kyrieleis.
Christ fuhr gen Himmel

German Text
Tune: Christ fuhr gen Himmel
-
Christ fuhr gen Himmel,
Da sandt er uns hernieder
Den Tröster, den Heiligen Geist,
Zu Trost der armen Christenheit,
Kyrieleis. -
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Des solln wir alle froh sein,
Christ will unser Trost sein,
Kyrieleis.
