157. Christ fuhr gen Himmel

1 Christi fuhr gen Himmel.
Was sandt' Er uns hernieder,
den Tröster, den Heiligen Geist,
zu Trost der armen Christenheit,
Kyrieleis.

2 Sitzt zu Gottes Rechten,
zu Gut seinen Knechten,
da will Er unser Mittler sein,
zu dem wir rufen soll'n allein.
Kyrieleis.

3 Sein Volk beschützet wider
den, der uns trotzet,
das ist der Fürst in diser Welt,
sei Wort Er wohl für Ihm behält.
Kyrieleis.

4 Mit den Wohlthaten will
Er uns berathen,
des Dir Lob, Herr Jesu Christ,
der Du gen Himm'l gefahren bist.
Kyrieleis.

5 Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
des soll'n wir alle froh sein,
Christ will unser Trost sein,
Kyrieleis.
