''Es ist das Heil uns kommen her'' (originally: ''Es ist das heyl vns kommen her'', English: ''Salvation now has come for all'' or more literally: It is our salvation come here to us) is a Lutheran hymn in 14 stanzas by Paul Speratus. It was first published as one of eight songs in 1524 in the first Lutheran hymnal, the Achtliederbuch, which contained four songs by Luther, three by Speratus, and one by Justus Jonas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hymnsandcarolsofchristmas.com/History/early_german_hymnals.htm )〕 The same year it appeared in Erfurt in ''Eyn Enchiridion''. ==Origins== According to tradition, Speratus wrote this hymn while he was in prison in Olomouc, condemned for his evangelical beliefs to death by fire. Only by the intercession of friends was he released, on condition that he leave Moravia.〔nur durch die Fürbitte angesehener Magnaten vor dem Feuertode, zu dem er verurtheilt war, gerettet...er in dieser Haft das evangelische Glaubenslied „Es ist das Heil uns kommen her“ gedichtet hat〕 The text by Speratus is based on Paul's Epistle to the Romans, .〔"Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." ''Rom.'' 3:28 KJV〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hymnary.org/person/Speratus_P )〕 and expresses Luther's teaching about salvation. According to Scott Hendrix, "It not only emphasizes justification by faith alone but it also underlines the vitality of that faith manifested in service to others. A modern English version of the hymn's first stanza, which appears on the back cover of Hendrix's book ''Early Protestant Spirituality'', is as follows: ::Salvation unto us has come :::by God's free grace and favor; ::Good works cannot avert our doom, :::they help and save us never. ::Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone, ::who did for all the world atone, :::He is our mediator. Speratus set his words to the tune of an Easter chorale from the 15th century, ''Freu dich, du werte Christenheit''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Es ist das Heil uns kommen her」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
