Herr, du bist der Höchste by Johann Heinrich Rolle — Lyrics
Herr du bist der Höchste in allen Landen,
du bist sehr erhöhet über alle Götter.
Die ihr den Herren liebet und hasset das Arge,
der Herr bewahret die Seelen seiner Heiligen.

About Herr, du bist der Höchste
Johann Heinrich Rolle's Herr, du bist der Höchste is a motet for SATB choir, sung in German. This sacred work is ideal for use in church services. The text, drawn from scripture, expresses praise and thanksgiving to God as the highest being. It speaks of God's protection over his faithful, delivering them from evil hands. The choir is called upon to rejoice and give thanks for the Lord's holiness. Rolle's setting would have been designed to lift the spirit of the congregation through its devotional message and aural beauty.
