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

About Aus tiefer Noth
This setting of Martin Luther's 1524 paraphrase of Psalm 130, Aus tiefer Not schrei' ich zu dir, was composed by Johann Hermann Schein for SATB choir. The German text is a prayer for deliverance from distress, a plea to be heard and forgiven, and an expression of trust in God's mercy and word. It is a solemn and profound hymn suitable for services of penitence or reflection, or as a general sacred motet. Schein's masterful composition would provide a rich and moving experience for both singers and listeners, reflecting the deep spiritual yearning of the text.
