Erhör mich, Herr by Adam Gumpelzhaimer — Lyrics
Erhör mich, Herr, inn meinem leid,
inn notten zu dir ruffe,
sich an Gott der gerechtigkeit,
mein unschuld selber bruffe,
du hast mir trostmich offt erlöst,
zu vor inn meinen notten,
kumm jetzt auch, Herrinn noten
schwer sei gnädig, hör mein beten.

About Erhör mich, Herr
Adam Gumpelzhaimer was a composer of sacred music active in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This setting of Erhör mich, Herr is for three voices (SST) and is sung in German. The text is a prayer for divine help in times of distress, imploring God for mercy and justice. It also contains a plea against slander and deceit, asking for the truth to be heard. Gumpelzhaimer's work offers a direct and earnest musical setting of these devotional lyrics, suitable for use in sacred services.
