2 Recitativo (Alto)
from God eternally
he left his heavenly kingdom,
as was foretold to be.
This morningstar so radiant,
its light becomes now present,
most brilliant star of all.O wondrous, great compassion,
when God is mindful of our being
and in his majesty
hereafter then will be to earth descending.
O inexplicable mysterious pow’r!
The chosen womb does bear within
the son of God on high,
whom David long ago
did honour in his spirit.
A maiden blessed she has been;
a virgin young with great devotion....

Herr Christ, der einge Gottessohn,
2 Recitativo (Alto)
Vaters in Ewigkeit,
aus seinem Herzen entsprossen,
gleichwie geschrieben steht,
er ist der Morgensterne,
sein' Glanz streckt er so ferne
für andern Sternen klar.O Wunderkraft der Liebe,
wenn Gott an sein Geschöpfe denket,
wenn sich die Herrlichkeit
im letzten Teil der Zeit
zur Erde senket.
O unbegreifliche, geheime Macht!
Es trägt ein auserwählter Leib
den großen Gottessohn,
den David schon
im Geist als seinen Herrn verehrte,
da dies gebenedeite Weib...
