Der höchste Schatz by Ulrich Braetel — Lyrics
Der höchste Schatz Gott selber ist,
durch Jesum Christ,
sich geben hat aus sonder Gnad in Tod für unser Leben.
Wer eben schaut und ihm vertraut
auch auf ihn baut beständiglich,

About Der höchste Schatz
Ulrich Braetel's setting of Der höchste Schatz for STTB voices is a sacred motet rooted in the German tradition. The text explores profound theological themes, focusing on God as the ultimate treasure and Jesus Christ's sacrifice for humanity's salvation. It speaks of finding solace and unwavering faith in God, promising spiritual elevation and divine mercy. Those who trust and build their lives on this foundation are assured of God's protection, even from the consequences of Adam's fall. The motet emphasizes God's compassion for the needy and the importance of striving to be His disciples, demonstrating His goodness at all times.
