About Helft mir Gotts Güte preisen
Johann Hermann Schein was a leading German composer of the early Baroque. This sacred setting for SATB voices, Helft mir Gotts Güte preisen, is a hymn in German. The text, to be sung by beloved children, calls for praise of God's goodness, especially at the end of the year. It urges listeners to remember God's abundant grace, the provision for life, and protection from harm. The hymn also gives thanks for the preservation of church and school, for food for young and old, and for warding off devastation from the land. It reflects on God's fatherly grace in sparing the congregation.
