Komm, Heliger Geist by Crato Bütner — Lyrics
Komm, Heiliger Geist, Herre Gott,
erfüll mit deiner Gnaden gut
deiner Gläubigen Herz, Muth und Sinn,
dein brünstige Lieb entzünd in ihn'.
O Herr, durch deines Lichtes Glanz
zu dem Glauben versammelt hast
das Volk aus aller Welt Zungen
des sey dir, Herr, zu Lob gesungen.
Alleluia.
Du heiliges Licht, edler Hort,
laß uns leuchten des Lebens Wort,
und lehr uns Gott recht erkennen,
von Herzen Vater ihn nennen.

About Komm, Heliger Geist
This powerful motet by Crato Bütner, Komm, Heiliger Geist, is ideal for Pentecost services. Scored for double SATB choir, it offers a rich, sonorous texture. The German text is a fervent prayer to the Holy Spirit, asking for guidance, illumination, and steadfastness in faith. It implores the Spirit to fill believers' hearts and minds with divine grace and to ignite their love. The text further petitions for protection against false teachings and for unwavering trust in Jesus Christ. The composer's setting vividly reflects the earnest pleas of the text, making it a compelling choice for a large choir seeking to express deep spiritual devotion. The work's structure supports congregational participation in praise, particularly through the repeated Alleluias.
