Blick von Himmelsthron by Joseph Gregor Zangl — Lyrics
Blick vom Himmelsthron dem Reinem
oh Maria nur einmal,
süsse Mutter auf die Deinen,
nur ein einzig, einzig Mal.
Sieh wie Undank uns entweihte,
wie mit Gottes Herz die Schuld,
mit dem Milden uns entzweite,
wir verwirkten seine Huld.
Willst du daß er mild erscheine,
oh so sprich ein einzig Wort,
du Maria kannst alleine
öffnen unsres Heiles Port.

About Blick von Himmelsthron
The words of this German motet implore the Virgin Mary to look down from her heavenly throne upon her children. They express a plea for her intercession, highlighting humanity's unworthiness and sinfulness, and how only through her words can divine mercy be granted. The text paints a scene of devout supplication, with the choir acting as the voice of this earnest prayer. This SATB setting offers a profound opportunity for the choir to convey the deep spiritual longing and fervent trust expressed in the lyrics, creating a powerful devotional moment for the congregation.
