Herr, für dein Wort sei hochpreist by Philipp Goldmann — Lyrics
1. Herr, für dein Wort sei hoch gepreist;
lass uns dabei verbleiben
und gib uns deinen Heilgen Geist,
dass wir dem Worte glauben,
dasselb annehmen jederzeit
mit Sanftmut, Ehre, Lieb und Freud
als Gottes, nicht der Menschen.
3. Am Weg der Same wird sofort
vom Teufel hingenommen;
in Fels und Steinen kann das Wort
die Wurzel nicht bekommen;

About Herr, für dein Wort sei hochpreist
Philipp Goldmann’s sacred hymn Herr, für dein Wort sei hochpreist is a profound reflection on the importance of God’s word. The text, sung here in German by an SATB choir, explores the challenges of receiving and holding onto divine teaching, likening the word to a seed sown in different soils. It speaks of the Devil’s interference, the lack of root in stony ground, and the choking effect of worldly cares and desires. Ultimately, the hymn prays for the word to be a constant light for our feet, providing strength, counsel, and comfort through all adversities, and fostering steadfast trust in life and death.
