Gott der Vater by Sethus Calvisius — Lyrics
Gott der Vater wohn' uns bei
Und laß uns nicht verderben.
[Jesus Christus wohn' uns bei
Und laß uns nicht verderben.
Heiliger Geist der wohn uns bei,
Und laß uns nicht verberben,]
Mach' uns von allen Sünden frei
Und hilf' uns selig sterben.

About Gott der Vater
This setting of a German hymn text is for STTB choir. The music begins with an invocation to God the Father, asking for His presence and protection, and then extends this plea to Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. The text goes on to ask for deliverance from sin, a blessed death, and preservation in faith and trust. The overall mood is one of earnest supplication, with the four voices likely providing a rich and supportive texture for the devotional message. The final Amen and Hallelujah offer a triumphant affirmation of faith, bringing the hymn to a strong conclusion.
