Allein Gott in der Höh' sei Ehr' (Chorale)|{{NoCo|Chorals of the German Organ Mass (Clavier Übung III) by Valentin Schumann — Lyrics
Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr
Und Dank für seine Gnade,
Darum, dass nun und nimmermehr
Uns rühren kann ein Schade.
Ein Wohlgefalln Gott ans uns hat;
Nun ist gross Fried ohn Unterlass.
All Fehd hat nun ein Ende.
Wir beten an und loben dich,
Wir bringen Ehr und danken,
Dass du, Gott Vater, ewiglich
Regierst ohn alles Wanken.
Ganz unbegrenzt ist deine Macht;
Allzeit geschieht, was du bedacht.
Wohl uns solch eines Herren!

About Allein Gott in der Höh' sei Ehr' (Chorale)|{{NoCo|Chorals of the German Organ Mass (Clavier Übung III)
Valentin Schumann's SATB setting of the German chorale Allein Gott in der Höh' sei Ehr' is a sacred hymn rooted in Lutheran tradition. The text expresses praise and thanks to God the Father for his eternal rule and for sending Jesus Christ, God's Son, to redeem humanity. It also invokes the Holy Spirit for comfort. This arrangement allows for a rich, four-part interpretation of these profound theological sentiments, making it a suitable choice for services seeking congregational singing or reflective choral moments. The German lyrics convey deep reverence and a sense of divine assurance.
