Das ist je gewisslich wahr a 6 by Andreas Hammerschmidt — Lyrics
Das ist je gewißlich wahr und ein teuer wertes Wort, daß Christus Jesus kommen ist in die Welt, die Sünder selig zu machen, unter welchen ich der fürnehmste bin.
Aber darum ist mir Barmherzigkeit widerfahren,auf daß an mir fürnehmlich Jesus Christus erzeigete alle Geduld zum Exempel denen, die an ihn gläuben sollen zum ewigen Leben.

About Das ist je gewisslich wahr a 6
Andreas Hammerschmidt's Das ist je gewisslich wahr is a powerful motet for SSATTB voices, setting a profound German sacred text. The music opens with a focus on the interplay of the six voices, creating a rich and complex texture that immediately draws the listener in. The text, drawn from scripture, speaks of Christ's coming to save sinners, with the composer accepting his own unworthiness while marveling at God's patience. The motet culminates in a glorious doxology, proclaiming eternal glory to God. This work offers a compelling musical setting of a deeply personal and universal message of faith and redemption, suitable for experienced choirs seeking a substantial sacred repertoire.
