Es ist für uns eine Zeit angekommen – for eight handbells

The title of this traditional Swiss Christmas carol translates as “Unto us a time has come”. It’s from the canton of Lucerne, and traditionally has been sung by Epiphany singers (groups that wear costumes appropriate to the coming of the Magi to Bethlehem). Our eight-bell arrangement of this carol will share the joy of the finding the Christ Child with your congregations/audiences!

Es ist für uns eine Zeit angekommen,
es ist für uns eine große Gnad’.
Unser Heiland, Jesus Christ,
der für uns, der für uns, der für uns Mensch geworden ist.
Unto us a time has come,
it is a great grace for us.
Our saviour, Jesus Christ,
has become man for us.
