Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr by Hugo Distler — Lyrics
1. Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr
und Dank für seine Gnade
darum, daß nun und nimmermehr
uns rühren kann kein Schade.
Ein Wohlgefalln Gott an uns hat,
nun ist groß Fried ohn Unterlaß,
all Fehd hat nun ein Ende.
2. O Jesu Christ, Sohn eingeborn
deines himmlischen Vaters,
Versöhner derer, die waren verlorn,
du Stiller unsers Haders,

About Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr
Hugo Distler's setting of Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr is a sacred motet for SAB choir. The German text is a Lutheran hymn, traditionally sung during the Christmas season, with the first verse offering praise and thanks to God for his grace and protection. The subsequent verses address Jesus Christ as the reconciler and Lamb of God, and the Holy Spirit as comforter and protector against evil. Distler's music would likely reflect the solemnity and devotional nature of this significant Lutheran text.
