Gott der Vater wohn uns bei by Johannes Eccard — 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 hymn, Gott der Vater wohn uns bei, by Johannes Eccard, sets a profound plea for divine protection and guidance. The German text implores the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to abide with us, freeing us from sin and ensuring a blessed end. It asks for preservation from the devil's snares, steadfast faith, and complete trust in God. The SATTB voicing allows for rich harmonies to underscore the solemnity and earnestness of the supplication, building towards a final Amen and a triumphant "Hallelujah!" This is a powerful and heartfelt prayer for spiritual strength and salvation, suitable for moments of deep reflection.
