Es wollt uns Gott genädig sein by Balthasar Resinarius — 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
This German motet by Balthasar Resinarius is suitable for a choir looking for a challenging yet rewarding sacred work. Scored for STTB voices, it offers rich harmonic possibilities and requires careful attention to textual expression. The lyrics, a prayer for divine grace and guidance, speak of God's mercy, the enlightenment of his countenance, and the spread of Christ's salvation to all nations. The text also calls for thanksgiving for God's judgment and the preservation provided by his word. This motet would be an excellent choice for services during Lent or for general use, providing a profound musical reflection on faith and divine providence.
