St. Matthew Passion Suite: J.S. Bach/Greg Anderson

Performed by Emily Valine and David Packa at the College of St. Scholastica, Mitchell Auditorium on September 30, 2017.

0:00 Erbarme Dich
Have mercy, my God, for my tears' sake!
Look hither, my heart and eyes weep before you bitterly.

6:02 Wie wunderbarlich ist doch diese Strafe!
How amazing is this punishment!
The good Shepherd suffers for his sheep,
As righteous as he is, the master pays the penalty for his servants.

6:51 Aus Liebe will mein Heiland sterben
Out of love,
Out of love my Savior is willing to die,
Though he knows nothing of any sin,
So that eternal ruin and the punishment of judgment
May not rest upon my soul.

11:30 O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden
O head, full of blood and wounds, full of sorrow and full of scorn,
O head, bound in mockery, with a crown of thorns,
O head, once beautifully adorned with highest honor and renown,
But now shamefully mistreated,
Let me hail thee!

12:37 Mache dich, mein Herze, rein
Make yourself pure, my heart,
For I will bury Jesus within me,
For now within me he shall for ever and ever
Take his sweet rest.
World, leave my heart and let Jesus enter!
