Es woll uns Gott genädig seyn by Melchior Franck — Lyrics
Es wolt uns Got genedig sein,
und seinen segen geben.
Sein antlytz uns mit hellem schein
erleucht zum ewigen leben.
Das wir erkennen seine werck,
unnd was yhm lyebt auff erden.
Und Jhesus Christus heyl und sterk,
bekant den heyden werden.
Unnd sie zu Got bekeren.
So dancken got und loben dich,
die Heyden uber alle.
Und alle welt die frewe sich,
und sing mit grossem schalle.
Das du auff erden richter byst,

About Es woll uns Gott genädig seyn
This sacred motet for SATB voices is set in German, drawing from Psalm 67. The text opens with a plea for God's grace and blessing, that His light may illuminate the singers towards eternal life, leading them to recognize His works and spread the knowledge of Jesus Christ among the nations. The latter part expresses thanksgiving and joy from all the world, celebrating God's justice and the preservation offered by His word. It concludes with an invocation for blessings upon the land and its people, guided by divine wisdom. Melchior Franck’s setting brings this profound devotional text to life with rich choral harmonies, suitable for services or concerts.
