God, my King, thy might confessing by Christian Friedrich Witt — Lyrics
God, my King, thy might confessing,
ever will I bless thy Name;
day by day thy throne addressing,
still will I thy praise proclaim.
Honor great our God befitteth;
who his majesty can reach?
Age to age his works transmitteth,
age to age his power shall teach.
They shall talk of all thy glory,
on thy might and greatness dwell,
speak of thy dread acts the story,
and thy deeds of wonder tell.

About God, my King, thy might confessing
A hymn suitable for services of thanksgiving, this anthem for SATB voices praises God's might and majesty. The text, originally German, is here set in English, extolling God's eternal glory, his wondrous deeds, and his boundless love and mercy. The composer Christian Friedrich Witt, a German Kapellmeister, crafts a setting that reflects the grandeur of the text, with words such as 'thy throne addressing' and 'thy dread acts the story' calling for a powerful and devout delivery. The choir will be called upon to proclaim God's greatness, from 'day by day' to 'age to age', testifying to his enduring goodness and compassion towards all creation. This is a profound expression of faith and adoration.
