Dancket dem Herren by Adam Gumpelzhaimer — Lyrics
Dancket dem Herren
alle nach und ferzen,
dancket ihn reinlich,
dann er ist sehr freündlich,
reich und erbietig,
vaterlich und gutig,
immer und ewig.
Er gibt sein speise
rechter zeit und weise,
was im Lufft schwebet
und im Wasser webet,

About Dancket dem Herren
This German sacred hymn, Dancket dem Herren, calls for thanks to God for his bounty. The text expresses gratitude for divine provision of food and protection for all creatures, both young and old, emphasizing God's kindness and eternal goodness. It speaks of him providing sustenance in due season, for all that moves in air and water, and for all that is and shall be on earth. Even the abandoned young ravens cry out to him and receive his help and prosperity. Adam Gumpelzhaimer's setting for SAT voices is a direct and heartfelt expression of this devotional text.
