Herr ich bin dein Eigentum by Manfred Hößl — Lyrics
Herr ich bin dein Eigentum,
dein ist ja mein Leben.
Mir zum Heil und dir zum Ruhm
hast du mirs gegeben.
Väterlich führst du mich
auf des Lebens Wegen
meinem Ziel entgegen.

About Herr ich bin dein Eigentum
Manfred Hößl's motet Herr ich bin dein Eigentum opens with a direct and devotional address to God, evident in the SATB voicing's rich yet clear texture. The German sacred text expresses complete surrender to divine will, finding purpose and guidance in God's hands. The music reflects the text's earnest plea for faithfulness and vigilance, particularly in anticipation of the final judgment. The composer's setting emphasizes the journey of life, leading towards a hopeful reunion with the divine. It is a heartfelt contemplation on faith and eternal life, suitable for contemplative moments within a sacred service or as a reflective concert piece.
