About Du lieber Herre Jesu Christ
Joachim a Burgk was a German composer of sacred music. This setting of Du lieber Herre Jesu Christ is for SATB choir. The German text is a prayer to Jesus Christ, the eternal Word of the Father, asking for guidance and salvation through Him. It speaks of Christ's mission to send his servants to all lands and expresses praise for this work. The lyrics further implore Christ to teach the singers true repentance, to free them from sin, and to govern them with His Spirit, promising eternal praise. This hymn setting would suit a congregational or choral context within a Lutheran tradition.
