Du höchstes Licht by Manfred Hößl — Lyrics
Du höchstes Licht, du ew´ger Schein,
du Gott und treuer Herre mein,
von dir der Gnaden Glanz aus geht
und leuchtet schön so früh wie spät.
Du bist das Licht der ganzen Welt,
das je dem klar vor Augen stellt

About Du höchstes Licht
This setting of a German sacred text would suit a church service or a devotional concert. The SATB choir sings of "highest light, eternal radiance, God and my faithful Lord," portraying Christ as the "light of the whole world." The composer Manfred Hößl sets these words with a clear, lyrical melody, offering a moment of reflection and praise. The text expresses a prayer for God's grace to illuminate the world and asks for the sung offering to resound for good and for God's glory. It speaks of God as an "unsetting sun of grace" and a constant source of divine illumination, even through the darkest times. This is a straightforward and accessible setting for the choir.
