Ausz tieffer noth by David Wolkenstein — 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 Ausz tieffer noth
David Wolkenstein's setting of the German hymn Aus tiefer Not is for SATB choir. The text, a prayer of deep distress and humble supplication, asks God to hear the singer's cry, acknowledging that human sinfulness makes mercy and forgiveness essential. The composer's setting reflects the gravity of the text, offering a powerful and earnest rendition of this well-known Lutheran chorale. It remains a significant piece within the sacred choral repertoire, often programmed for its profound devotional message and its effective use of four-part harmony.
