Der Herr hat seinen Engeln befohlen by Johann Vierdanck — Lyrics
Der Herr hat seinen Engeln befohlen über dir
daß sie dich behüten auf allen deinen wegen.
Der Herr hat seinen Engeln befohlen über dir
daß sie dich auf den Handen tragen
und du deinen fuß nicht an einen Stein stoßest.
Auf den Löwen und Ottern wirstu gehen
und treten auf den jungen Löwen und Drachen.

About Der Herr hat seinen Engeln befohlen
Johann Vierdanck's motet Der Herr hat seinen Engeln befohlen is a sacred work for SSTB choir in German. The text, drawn from Psalm 91, speaks of God's protection through angels, assuring the listener that they will be guarded on all their paths and kept safe from harm. It also includes a promise of divine deliverance and salvation for those who call upon God. The music would have served a devotional purpose in the Lutheran tradition, offering comfort and reassurance through the powerful biblical message set to polyphonic music. This setting is suitable for services or concerts where a text of divine protection is appropriate.
