Die helle Sonn leucht jetzt herfür b by Melchior Vulpius — Lyrics
1. Die helle Sonn leucht jetzt herfür,
fröhlich vom Schlaf aufstehen wir;
Gott Lob, der uns heint diese Nacht
behüt hat vor des Teufels Macht.
2. Herr Christ, den Tag uns auch behüt
vor Sünd und Schand durch deine Güt,
lass deine liebe Engelein
unser Hüter und Wächter sein,

About Die helle Sonn leucht jetzt herfür b
This German hymn by Melchior Vulpius is ideal for morning services, providing a joyous call to rise and give thanks for deliverance from evil. The text expresses gratitude for God's protection through the night and asks for His guidance and protection throughout the day. It prays for Christ to guard against sin and shame, with angels serving as protectors. The verses further implore that hearts live in obedience to God's word and will, and that all undertakings, work, and efforts bring glory and praise to Him. This SSAA setting offers a rich, blended sound suitable for a choir seeking a devout and uplifting sacred work.
