Es wolt uns Gott by Sethus Calvisius — Lyrics
Es wolt uns Got genedig sein,
und seinen segen geben.
Sein antlytz uns mit hellem schein
erleucht zum ewigen leben.
Das wir erkennen seine werck,
unnd was yhm lyebt auff erden.
Und Jhesus Christus heyl und sterk,
bekant den heyden werden.
Unnd sie zu Got bekeren.
So dancken got und loben dich,
die Heyden uber alle.
Und alle welt die frewe sich,
und sing mit grossem schalle.
Das du auff erden richter byst,

About Es wolt uns Gott
This German hymn setting by Sethus Calvisius is suitable for services or concerts. The SATB choir will convey a text that begins with a plea for God's grace, blessing, and enlightenment, leading to the recognition of God's works and the spread of Jesus Christ's message to the nations. The lyrics then transition to an expression of gratitude and praise to God for His justice and guidance, with the world rejoicing and recognizing His divine word as sustenance. The final verses speak of a people bearing good fruit and improving, with a blessing sought from Father and Son. This composition offers a rich harmonic and textual experience for choirs.
