Herr Jesu Christ, wahr' Mensch und Gott,

Für mich am Kreuz auch endlich starbst
Und mir deins Vaters Huld erwarbst.

About Herr Jesu Christ wahr Mensch und Gott
This sacred hymn by Johannes Eccard, set for SATTB choir, offers a deeply personal plea for mercy. The German text addresses Jesus Christ, acknowledging his human and divine nature, his suffering, and his sacrifice on the cross. The singer implores him, through his bitter suffering, to be merciful in the hour of death when facing the final struggle. Eccard's setting provides a solemn and devotional musical framework for this profound meditation on faith, suffering, and the promise of salvation. It is a powerful expression of need and hope, suitable for contemplation or liturgical use.
