Das Herz in mir gar wolgemut by Conrad Hagius — Lyrics
Das Hertz in mir gar wolgemut,
sich hoch im Herren frewen thut,
mein horn einmal zu sieser frist,
herrlicher weisz erhoben ist,
hat sich durch meinen Gott und Herren,
herfür gethan mit hohen ehren.
Mein mund hat weit eröffnet sich,
auff die so feindlich hassen mich,
und redt gegen die feinde mein,
die mir ohn fug zuwider sehn,
denn zwar mein Hertz on einig schewen
thut sich in deinem heil erfrewen.
Niemand ist heilig, wie der Herr,
ja ausser ihm ist keiner mehr,
mechtig und starck ist unser Gott,

About Das Herz in mir gar wolgemut
Conrad Hagius composed this German hymn for SATB choir. Its text expresses profound joy and unwavering faith in God, even in the face of adversity. The opening lines translate to 'The heart in me, quite joyful, rejoices greatly in the Lord.' The lyrics speak of lifting one's voice and horn in praise, acknowledging God's might and holiness above all earthly powers. The composer's setting reflects this triumphant spirit, with the SATB voices likely weaving together to create a powerful and uplifting musical declaration of spiritual confidence and divine strength. This sacred piece offers a robust musical setting for a text of heartfelt devotion and resilience.
