Deutsche Messe by Eduard Adolf Tod — Lyrics
Zum Eingang:
Liebend gabst du Herr dein Leben
Uns vom Tode zu befrei’n
Um des Lebens Kraft zu geben
Willst du ewig bei uns sein
Willst bis zu der Zeiten Ende
deinen Opfertod erneu’n
Und im heil’gen Sacramente
Uns das Brot des Lebens sein.
Gloria:
Gott soll gepriesen werden, sein Nam' gebenedeit
Im Himmel und auf Erden jetzt und in Ewigkeit.
Lob, Ruhm und Dank und Ehre sei der Dreieinigkeit.
Die ganze Welt vermehre, Gott, deine Herrlichkeit.
Credo:
Tief anbetend in dem Staube,
heiligste Dreieinigkeit
dankt dir unser fester Glaube
sicher der Unfehlbarkeit.
Was uns deine Kirche lehret,

About Deutsche Messe
This setting of the vernacular German Mass by Eduard Adolf Tod is suitable for liturgical occasions. The TTBB voicing offers a rich, resonant sound ideal for congregational singing or as a standalone choir piece. The text for the Entrance hymn speaks of Christ's loving sacrifice to give life, and his perpetual presence in the sacrament. The Gloria praises God in heaven and on earth, calling for the world to increase his glory. The Credo affirms unwavering faith in the Holy Trinity and the teachings of the Church, trusting in the infallibility of God's revealed word. The Sanctus begins with the declaration of holiness, leading into the prayerful anticipation of the divine presence.
