Gib, o Gott, mir Kraft und Willen by Konrad Kocher — Lyrics
1. Gib, o Gott, mir Kraft und Willen,
dein Gesetz treu zu erfüllen;
gib mir, dass ich immerhin
fromm und gut und heilig bin!
2. Gib mir Weisheit, recht zu handeln,
heilig stets vor dir zu wandeln,
nur zu tun, was meine Pflicht,
und mein Lehrer Jesus spricht!
3. Gib mir einen festen Glauben,
den mir keine Spötter rauben,
einen Sinn, der dich ergreift,
und für bess’re Welten reift!

About Gib, o Gott, mir Kraft und Willen
Konrad Kocher's setting of Gib, o Gott, mir Kraft und Willen is a sacred hymn for SATB choir. The German text is a prayer for divine strength and guidance. The singer asks for the power to fulfil God's law, to act wisely, and to walk holy before Him, always doing what is right and following the teachings of Jesus. The hymn also contains pleas for unwavering faith, trust in God's protection, and a love for the divine that remains pure, free from sin. The text concludes with a prayer for a blessed end of earthly life and a safe passage to the afterlife.
