Es wollt uns Gott genädig sein by Benedictus Ducis — 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 wollt uns Gott genädig sein
Benedictus Ducis's motet Es wollt uns Gott genädig sein sets a German text expressing a prayer for God's grace and blessing. The lyrics ask for enlightenment to eternal life, the recognition of God's works, and the spreading of Christ's teachings to the Gentiles. The second stanza turns to praise and thanksgiving, celebrating God's justice and the preservation offered by His word. The music is set for STTB voices, a rich texture for this sacred German text. Ducis, a composer of the German Renaissance, here provides a thoughtful setting of a deeply devotional hymn.
