Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland is a chorale text adapted by Martin Luther from the second verse of Veni redemptor gentium; the corresponding Gregorian chant dates from the 12th century.

Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland discusses the chorale itself.

  • BWV 661 – Cantus firmus chorale.

It is also the first choral prelude, BWV 599, in J. S. Bach's Orgelbüchlein.
