Gnädig und barmherzig ist der Herr by Johann Heinrich Rolle — Lyrics
Laudatio ipsi David. Exaltabo te, Deus meus rex, et benedicam nomini tuo in saeculum,
et in saeculum saeculi.
Per singulos dies benedicam tibi, et laudabo nomen tuum in saeculum, et in saeculum saeculi.
Magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis, et magnitudinis ejus non est finis.
Generatio et generatio laudabit opera tua, et potentiam tuam pronuntiabunt.
Magnificentiam gloriae sanctitatis tuae loquentur, et mirabilia tua narrabunt.
Et virtutem terribilium tuorum dicent, et magnitudinem tuam narrabunt.
Memoriam abundantiae suavitatis tuae eructabunt, et justitia tua exsultabunt.
Miserator et misericors Dominus: patiens, et multum misericors.
Suavis Dominus universis, et miserationes ejus super omnia opera ejus.
Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnia opera tua, et sancti tui benedicant tibi.
Gloriam regni tui dicent, et potentiam tuam loquentur:

About Gnädig und barmherzig ist der Herr
This motet is a powerful setting of biblical verses from Psalm 145, sung in a compelling mix of Latin and German. The text speaks of God's boundless mercy and unending praise, proclaiming His greatness and faithfulness across all generations. Johann Heinrich Rolle’s composition for SATB choir captures this devotional sentiment with rich harmonic language. It is ideal for occasions calling for profound expression of gratitude and divine majesty, perhaps during services of thanksgiving or reflection. The work draws directly from scripture, offering a direct and heartfelt musical meditation on God's enduring love and power, making it a significant addition to any sacred choral repertoire.
