Gott der Vater wohn uns bei by Arnold von Bruck — Lyrics
Gott der Vater wohn' uns bei
Und laß uns nicht verderben.
[Jesus Christus wohn' uns bei
Und laß uns nicht verderben.
Heiliger Geist der wohn uns bei,
Und laß uns nicht verberben,]
Mach' uns von allen Sünden frei
Und hilf' uns selig sterben.

About Gott der Vater wohn uns bei
This sacred motet for SATB voices sets a prayer for divine protection. The text pleads for the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to abide with the singers, to free them from sin, and to help them die in faith. It calls for preservation from the devil and steadfast trust in God, enabling them to resist evil. The motet concludes with a fervent 'Amen! Amen!' and a 'Hallelujah.' Arnold von Bruck crafts a devotional setting that emphasizes faith and reliance on God's grace, suitable for liturgical use or as a profound contemplation of spiritual security.
