About Gott der Hoffnung erfülle euch, TWV 1:634
The composer asks God, the source of all hope, to fill the singers and their listeners with his peace. The text prays for a steadfast spirit, a clear conscience, and a firm faith, so that the singers can withstand all temptations and sorrows. This SATB setting in German is taken from a sacred cantata by Telemann. The music reflects the earnest devotion of the text, with clear part-writing and a restrained, devotional mood appropriate to its devotional subject matter.
