Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir by Martin Zeuner — Lyrics
Aus tiefer Not schrei' ich zu dir,
Herr Gott, erhoer' mein Rufen,
Dein gnädig' Ohren kehr zu mir,
Und meiner Bitt' sie öffen!
Denn so du willst das sehen an,
Was Sünd' und Unrecht ist getan,
Wer kann, Herr, vor dir bleiben?

About Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir
The German text of this hymn, 'Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir', translates to 'Out of the depths I cry to you'. It speaks of profound distress and appeals to God for mercy, acknowledging human sinfulness and the impossibility of standing before divine judgment without God's grace. The composer Martin Zeuner sets this plea for divine forgiveness and reliance on God's goodness for salvation for SATTB choir. The sacred nature of the text and its theological weight make this a powerful setting, suitable for services seeking to express penitence and a fervent appeal for divine clemency.
