Ach Gott wie manches by Samuel Friedrich Capricornus — Lyrics
Der schmale Weg ist Trübsal voll,
den ich zum Himmel wandeln soll.

Niemand jemals verlassen ist,

About Ach Gott wie manches
Samuel Friedrich Capricornus composed Ach Gott wie manches as a sacred motet for SSB voices. The German text, opening with reflections on the difficult path to heaven and the struggle of flesh and blood against eternal good, expresses a deep reliance on Jesus Christ for comfort, help, and guidance. The composer emphasizes that no one who trusts in Christ has ever been abandoned. The lyrics praise Jesus as a wondrous man, highlighting the miracle of God being born as man and His ability to lead us through death out of all suffering. This piece offers a heartfelt plea for divine assistance and an affirmation of faith.
