About Deutsches Hochamt "Hier liegt vor deiner Majestät" MH 560
This setting of the German Ordinary of the Mass would be appropriate for a vernacular liturgy. The choir sings SATB in German. The text for the "Zum Eingang" ("Entrance") prayer petitions God for grace and forgiveness, acknowledging human sinfulness, while the "Gloria" ("Glory") praises the Trinity. The "Gabenbereitung" ("Offertory") text asks God to accept the offerings of bread and wine as a pledge from those who have sinned, to be an offering for sinners on earth.
