Ach lieben Christen seid getrost by Anonymous — Lyrics
1. Ach liebe Christen, seid getrost,
wie tut ihr so verzagen?
Weil uns der Herr heimsuchen tut,
laßt uns von Herzen sagen:
die Straf' wir wohl verdienet han,
das muß bekennen jedermann,
niemand darf sich ausschließen.

This setting of Ach lieben Christen seid getrost is an anonymous German hymn from the sacred tradition. Scored for SATB choir, the text offers solace and encouragement to Christians experiencing hardship and tribulation. It acknowledges that suffering may be deserved due to human sin, but implores listeners to place their faith and trust in God, the loving Father. The lyrics express a profound reliance on divine mercy, recognizing that earthly life is fraught with misery, but looking forward to eternal joy in God's presence. The music would serve as a moving reflection on faith and perseverance through difficult times.
