Großer König aller Zeiten by Manfred Hößl — Lyrics
Grosser König aller Völker,
unsre Heimat schütze Du!
Sicher durch des Lebens Dunkel
führ Dein Volk dem Lichte zu.
Höchster Herrscher gib uns Gnade,
segne unser Vaterland.
Segne Seines Volkes Pfade,
leite seiner Lenker Hand.
Ordne Herr, nach Deinem Willen

About Großer König aller Zeiten
This SATB motet in German, Großer König aller Zeiten, is a sacred setting with a devotional character. The composer builds the piece from flowing melodic lines that weave together to create a rich choral texture. The text is a prayer for divine protection and guidance for the nation and its leaders, asking for wisdom and righteousness to be established and followed. It also expresses a desire for the people to be sanctified for God's eternal glory. The music mirrors the earnestness of the petition, with moments of both strength and supplication, making it a fitting choice for services or concerts seeking a profound spiritual message.
