Danket dem Herrn by Johann Heinrich Rolle — Lyrics
Danket dem Herrn!
Denn er ist freundlich, und seine Güte währet ewiglich!
Es sage nun Israel: Seine Güte währet ewiglich.
Es sage nun das Haus Arons: Seine Güte währet ewiglich.
Es sagen nun, die den Herren fürchten: Seine Güte währet ewiglich.
Choral:
Wir danken alle Gott,
mit Herzen und mit Worten,
der große Dinge tut
an uns zu allen Orten.
Der mächtig uns erhält

About Danket dem Herrn
Johann Heinrich Rolle's Danket dem Herrn is a sacred motet for SATB choir, setting German words of thanksgiving. The text begins with a call to thank the Lord for his kindness and enduring goodness, echoing passages from the Psalms and the Old Testament. It urges Israel, the house of Aaron, and those who fear the Lord to proclaim this eternal mercy. The subsequent verses of the hymn express communal gratitude for God's great deeds, his sustaining power from childhood, and a goodness beyond human comprehension. It concludes with praise to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, acknowledging God's unending greatness and goodness from his heavenly throne.
