Alles was ist auff dieser Welt by Christian Ritter — Lyrics
Alles, was ist auff dieser Welt,
es sey Silber, Gold oder Geld,
Reichthumb und zeitlich Gut,
das währet nur ein kleine Zeit,
und hilfft doch nicht für Seligkeit.

About Alles was ist auff dieser Welt
This SATB setting of a German sacred text by Christian Ritter would suit a reflective moment in a service. The words speak of the transience of earthly wealth and possessions, contrasting them with the eternal reward of salvation. The composer contrasts these ideas with a direct plea for God’s presence, asking not to be cast out from His sight. Ritter’s music offers a solemn and devotional frame for this profound text, making it suitable for occasions where deep spiritual contemplation is desired.
