Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ by Leonhard Lechner — Lyrics
Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ,
der du allzeit mein Hoffnung bist,
du wirst mir ja gewähren
mein herzlich Bitt,
auf dass ich nit
verzag auf dieser Erden.
Dein teures Blut,
das hohe Gut,
kein Trost kann mir sonst werden.
Durch deinen Tod
hilf mir aus Not
und stärk mir meinen Glauben;
lass mich auch nicht
den Böswicht
des höchsten Schatz berauben.

About Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ
This sacred motet, Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ, by Leonhard Lechner, is sung in German by an SATB choir. The text is a heartfelt prayer for spiritual strength and salvation, addressing Jesus Christ as the sole source of hope. The singer implores Christ for comfort in times of earthly struggle, seeking steadfast faith and protection against spiritual loss. The prayer culminates in a plea for a peaceful death, a blessed resurrection on the Last Day, and eternal life in God's kingdom. Lechner's setting would be appropriate for a reflective moment in a service, or as a profound devotional piece.
