Der hohe Himmel jauchtzen soll by Joachim a Burgk — Lyrics
Der hohe Himmel jauchtzen soll
ja Berg und Thal sey frreudenvol,
denn Gott der hat sein Volck getröst
und durch erbarmung uns erlöst.
Was ist denn nun das Zyon spricht:
der Herr wil bey mir halten nicht,
was saget sie: der Herr ist fehr,
und wil mein nicht gedencken mehr.

About Der hohe Himmel jauchtzen soll
Composed by Joachim a Burgk, this sacred German hymn is set for TTTB voices. The text offers a powerful assurance of God's unfailing love and remembrance, even when human relationships might fail. It draws a parallel between a mother's potential forgetfulness of her child and God's steadfast faithfulness to His people. The composer uses this scriptural imagery to convey a message of deep comfort and redemption, emphasizing God's enduring promise to those He has redeemed. The TTTB voicing provides a rich, resonant soundscape for this devotional German text.
