Members of Christ, ah, consider
what the Savior has bestowed on you
Through the pure bath of baptism!
From this fountain of blood and water
your garments become bright
that were stained by your sins.
Christ gave you new clothes:
scarlet purple, white silk.
These are the finery of a Christian!
J S Bach, Bereitet die Wege, bereitet die Bahn! (text, music)
From the album J. S. Bach, Christmas Cantatas, by the Aradia Ensemble.
