All praise to him who came to save by Georg Gottfried Wagner — Lyrics
All praise to Him who came to save,
Who conquered death and scorned the grave;
Each day new praise resoundeth
To Him, the life who once was slain,
The friend whom none shall trust in vain,

About All praise to him who came to save
All praise to Him who came to save opens with a noble and uplifting musical statement, the SATB choir unfurling a grand hymn of praise. The music matches the text's exultant tone, celebrating Christ's victory over death and his abounding grace. The voices weave together in a rich, homophonic texture for much of the piece, building to moments of powerful declamation that underscore the triumphant message. This is a robust setting of a familiar text, ideal for services where a strong declaration of faith is desired. The English text provides a clear and moving devotional focus, enhanced by Wagner's fervent musical setting.
