Deutsch figurierte Messe by Franz Bühler — Lyrics
Hier liegt vor deiner Majestät im Staub die Christenschar,
das Herz zu dir oh Gott erhöht, die Augen zum Altar,
schenk uns oh Vater deine Huld,
vergib uns unsre Sündenschuld,
vergib uns, wie wir alle gern
vergeben unsern Schuldigern.
Erbarme dich Herr, Herr erbarme dich.
Gott in der Höh sei Ehre,
den guten Menschen Fried,
so klang der Engelheere
anbetungs volles Lied,
mit freudigem Gemüte
erheb ich Höchster dich,
du bist voll weiser Güte
und liebst uns väterlich,
auch wir empfinden,
Gott deines Segens Kraft,
wohin wir blikken finden wir,
was uns Wonne schafft,
mit freudigem Gemüte,
erheb ich Höchster dich.
Gott in der Höh sei Ehre,

About Deutsch figurierte Messe
Franz Bühler's Deutsch figurierte Messe offers a devotional setting in German for SAB choir. The music opens with a focus on the interplay between the voices, creating a resonant texture that underpins the solemnity of the text. The lyrics express a plea for divine mercy and forgiveness, beginning with humble supplication before turning to praise and gratitude. The composer captures the penitent mood of the opening lines and then lifts the music to reflect the joy and wonder of the angelic host proclaiming glory to God. This vernacular Mass setting is suitable for services where congregational participation is desired.
