About Herr Jesu Christe lehre mich
Joachim a Burgk's Herr Jesu Christe lehre mich is a sacred hymn for ATTB voices. The German text is a prayer to Jesus Christ, asking Him to teach the singer to look only to Him, the true eternal God, who suffered death for humanity. It continues with a plea for faith in this singular truth, asking the Holy Spirit to make the singer wise in simplicity to God's praise and glory, deafening human reason. This setting of the hymn's devotional message would have been used in Lutheran services, offering a profound moment of reflection and supplication.
