Herr Gott, regier mich by Joachim a Burgk — Lyrics
Herr Gott, regier mich durch dein Wort,
es wird sehr entstellt hie und dort
rechte Lehr Glaub und Leben,
reichlich gabestu sie zuvor,
genediglich auch mich erhör,
ohn dich las mich nit bleiben.
Trennung in allen Stenden ist,
Recht will heissen Betrug un List
eigenwillig gesinnet,
Gewalt der falschen Lehr beyfelt,
im Schutz und Schirm die Heuchler helt,
Eydelkeit oben schwimmet.
Rein war Evangelion,
Martinus Luther must es thun.
In deinem Geist erreget,

About Herr Gott, regier mich
This sacred German hymn, Herr Gott, regier mich, is set for STTB voices. The text expresses a plea for divine guidance through God's word, lamenting the distortion of true doctrine and life. It observes division in all estates, where right is perverted by deceit and cunning, and the power of false teaching prevails. The hymn recalls how Martin Luther, inspired by the Holy Spirit, purified the Gospel, proclaiming Christ alone as the salvation of the world. It speaks of Christ's triumph over spiritual and worldly powers, crossing through wrath and defiance. The music offers a setting for these earnest reflections and prayers.
