Die güldne Sonne by Johann Georg Ebeling — Lyrics
1. Die güldne Sonne,
Voll Freud und Wonne
Bringt unsern Grenzen
Mit ihrem Glänzen
Ein herzerquickendes,
Liebliches Licht.
Mein Haupt und Glieder,
Die lagen darnieder;
Aber nun steh ich,
Bin munter und fröhlich,
Schaue den Himmel
Mit meinem Gesicht.
2. Mein Auge schauet,
Was Gott gebauet
Zu seinen Ehren
Und uns zu lehren,
Wie sein Vermögen
Sei mächtig und groß

About Die güldne Sonne
Johann Georg Ebeling's Die güldne Sonne is a sacred motet for SATB choir. The German text offers a devotional reflection, moving from the beauty and light of the sun to a contemplation of God's power and creation. It encourages singers to offer their best selves and their heartfelt songs as a form of worship, likening these praises to incense offered to the Creator. This piece would be suitable for services or concerts where themes of divine light, creation, and spiritual offering are appropriate, providing a moment of profound reflection and musical devotion.
