"Es ist das Heil uns kommen her" (originally: "Es iſt das heyl vns kom̃en 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. The same year it appeared in Erfurt in Eyn Enchiridion. Its hymn tune, Zahn No. 4430, was already known in the 15th century.
