Gelobet sei der Herr by Adam Krieger — Lyrics
Gelobet sei der Herr,
mein Gott, mein Licht, mein Leben,
mein Schöpfer, der mir hat
mein Leib und Seel‘ gegeben,
mein Vater, der mich schützt
vom Mutterleibe an,
der alle Augenblick
viel Gut‘s an mir getan.
Gelobet sei der Herr,
mein Gott, mein Trost, mein Leben,
des Vaters werter Geist,
den mir der Sohn gegeben,

About Gelobet sei der Herr
Adam Krieger’s Gelobet sei der Herr is a four-part sacred hymn in German. The music opens with a homophonic texture, immediately establishing the dignified and reverent mood of the text. The voices move together in clear declamation, creating a rich yet accessible sound. The composer crafts phrases that are both memorable and uplifting, reflecting the devotional nature of the lyrics. This work offers a profound expression of praise and gratitude, with the SATB voicing allowing for a full and resonant delivery of its message. It is a powerful example of sacred hymnody, suitable for choir and congregation alike.
