Jesus Christus nostra salus is a Latin Eucharistic hymn popularly attributed to Jan Hus. (Other scholarship attributes it to Jan z Jenštejna.) The first letters of the first eight verses form an acrostic: J-O-H-A-N-N-E-S.
Martin Luther (who believed it was written by Hus) loosely translated the hymn into German as Jesus Christus, unser Heiland; in fact, only the first verse of Luther's version is a faithful approximation of the Latin original. Care must be taken not to confuse this hymn, Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, der von uns den Gotteszorn wandt, with the Lutheran Easter hymn Jesus Christus, unser Heiland, der den Tod überwand.
