Erweckt hat mir das Herz zu dir by Georg Forster — Lyrics
Erweckt hat mir das Herz zu dir,
Mein Gott, dein Wort der Gnaden,
Dass ich nun mich frei lass1 auf dich,
Wer kan mir etwas schaden?
Was soll ich mehr von Gott begehrn,
So er mein Sünd tut tragen?
Darum will ich ganz sicherlich
Auf seine Güt mich wagen.
Lieb soll mir sein der Gnaden Schein,
In Jesu Christ verborgen,
Nun acht ich nicht, was mir gebricht,
Will hinfort gar nicht sorgen,

About Erweckt hat mir das Herz zu dir
Georg Forster was a composer of the German Renaissance, known for his secular partsongs. This setting for SATB voices, Erweckt hat mir das Herz zu dir, is a fine example of his work in this genre. The German text expresses profound gratitude and unwavering trust in God's word and grace. The singer reflects on the comfort and security found in divine providence, feeling freed from earthly worries and the fear of harm. The lyrics emphasize a commitment to praising God for salvation and protection from evil, finding refuge and joy in faith. This piece offers a rich opportunity for expressive choral singing, capturing the devotional and thankful spirit of the text.
