Herr Gott, zu Dir by Adam Gumpelzhaimer — Lyrics
Herr Gott, zu dir
mit gantzer gier,
sein unser augn gerichtet,
warten auff dich,
gemütlich,
wie sehrs die Welt vernichtet,
dein ist die zeit
und glegenheit,
zu zillen unser leben,
denn kanst du auch,
nach deinen brauch,
sein störck und nahrung geben.

About Herr Gott, zu Dir
Adam Gumpelzhaimer's Herr Gott, zu Dir is a sacred hymn setting for treble, alto, and tenor voices. The composer crafts a warm and intimate texture, with the voices often moving in close harmony, creating a sense of earnest supplication. The German text expresses a deep reliance on God, with the singers looking to the Almighty for guidance and sustenance. It speaks of the divine provision that sustains all life, whether on earth, in the air, or in the waters. The music reflects the sincerity of the text, building to moments of gentle assurance as the voices convey the trust placed in God's paternal care.
