The Passion is not intended for the academic spectator or the casual tourist—it is intended for the Christian. It movingly directs his heart to meditate on and wonder at what Jesus has done for him.
Enjoy the treasures of our Lutheran choral music. They are for you.
Certainly, many pieces of music merit our delight and admiration. But when seeking joy, let us welcome no one less than Christ into the score. For on that day when we stand in joy everlasting, we will be singing of no one but Him.
Now thank we all our God
With hearts and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done,
In whom His world rejoices
