About Herr Jesu Christ, dich zu uns wend, BWV 332
This sacred hymn, attributed to an anonymous composer and set for SATB choir, comes from the German Lutheran tradition. The text is a prayer for Christ’s presence and guidance, seeking the Holy Spirit to govern and lead to truth. The second stanza continues the plea, asking for open mouths to praise God, hearts ready for devotion, strengthened faith, and understanding so that God’s name may be well known. The music offers a straightforward setting, suitable for congregational singing or as a reflective anthem within a service.
