Komm, heiliger Geist, Herre Gott by Arnold von Bruck — Lyrics
Komm, Heiliger Geist, Herre Gott,
Erfüll mit deiner Gnaden Gut
Deiner Gläubigen Herz, Mut und Sinn,
Dein brünstig Lieb entzünd in ihn!
O Herr, durch deines Lichtes Glast
Zu dem Glauben versammelt hast
Das Volk aus aller Welt Zungen;
Das sei dir, Herr, zu Lob gesungen!
Halleluja!
Du heiliges Licht, edler Hort,
Lass uns leuchten des Lebens Wort
Und lehr uns Gott recht erkennen,
Von Herzen Vater ihn nennen!
O Herr, behüt vor fremder Lehr,

About Komm, heiliger Geist, Herre Gott
Arnold von Bruck's setting of the German chorale Komm, heiliger Geist, Herre Gott opens with a robust imitative texture, gradually yielding to a homophonic clarity that powerfully declaims the text. The voicing is varied, alternating between SATB and ATBB sections, allowing for a rich interplay of choral sonorities. The hymn is a fervent invocation of the Holy Spirit, asking for divine guidance and illumination. The text implores the Spirit to fill believers' hearts with grace, to ignite their love, and to unite people of all tongues in faith. It further prays for protection against false teachings and for steadfastness in serving God, expressing deep trust in Jesus Christ. This work is suitable for services or concerts where a profound theological message is to be conveyed.
