Herr Jesu, dein Barmherzigkeit by Adam Gumpelzhaimer — Lyrics
Herr Jesu, dein Barmherzigkeit,
über trifft all dein wercke,
die preisen wir mit innigkeit,
den glauben inn uns stercke,
das wir mögen ohn unterlasz
dein treües Herz bedencken hasz,
das du gegen uns treget.
Kein Sünder nicht kann sein so grosz,
wenn er nun thut war Busse,
verlest sich auff dein gnade blosz,
auff dein todt allein fusset,

About Herr Jesu, dein Barmherzigkeit
This devotional hymn setting, Herr Jesu, dein Barmherzigkeit, is suitable for general occasions within the church year. The composer Adam Gumpelzhaimer wrote for three voices (SST), creating a direct and intimate sound. The German lyrics express profound gratitude for Christ's merciful sacrifice, assuring sinners that repentance and faith in his atoning blood bring complete forgiveness. The text emphasizes that no sin is too great to be pardoned through Christ, the true light who banishes the darkness of sin and judgment. The music likely offers a clear and accessible setting of these comforting theological themes, making it a thoughtful choice for a choir seeking to convey a message of divine grace and redemption.
