Gott sei gelobet by Balthasar Resinarius — Lyrics
Gott sei gelobet und gebenedeiet,
der uns selber hat gespeiset
mit seinem Fleische und mit seinem Blute;
das gib uns, Herr Gott, zugute.
Kyrieleison.
Herr, du nahmest menschlichen Leib an,
der von deiner Mutter Maria kam.
Durch dein Fleisch und dein Blut
hilf uns, Herr, aus aller Not.
Kyrieleison.
Der heilig Leib, der ist für uns gegeben
zum Tod, dass wir dadurch leben.
Nicht größre Güte konnte er uns schenken,
dabei wir sein solln gedenken.
Kyrieleison.

About Gott sei gelobet
This sacred motet for STTB voices, Gott sei gelobet, is set in German. The text is a profound expression of faith, focusing on the Eucharist and Christ's sacrifice. It begins with praise for God who has nourished us with His flesh and blood, followed by a plea for help in times of need. The composer reflects on the gift of Christ's body, given unto death so that we may live, and the immeasurable love that compelled His sacrifice. The words speak of Christ's blood working wonders, paying our debt, and reconciling us to God. The motet concludes with a prayer for God's grace to guide us in His ways with true love.
