Auf dich mein Gott und Herr allein by Adam Gumpelzhaimer — Lyrics
Auff dich mein Gott/
und Herr allein/
Mein Hoffnung steht auff Erden.
Dein Grechtigkeit/
sey mir bereit/
Von Feinden mich zu retten/
Mein flehlich Bit/
versag mir nit/
Hilff mir in meinen Nöten.
Von Gfehrlichkeit/
der Christeheit/
Hört man noch täglich klagen/
Wann Gott der Herr/
nit bey uns wer/

About Auf dich mein Gott und Herr allein
Adam Gumpelzhaimer's motet Auf dich mein Gott und Herr allein is a substantial sacred work for double choir (SATB.SATB). The German text expresses profound trust in God alone, seeking protection from enemies and deliverance from earthly troubles. The composer conveys the plea for divine aid with a sense of urgency, highlighting the precarious state of Christendom without God's intervention. The motet's text ultimately offers reassurance, stating that those who trust in God will not be abandoned, finding solace and strength in His will. Gumpelzhaimer's setting reflects the devotional intensity of the text, with the two choirs interacting to create a rich and resonant soundscape.
