Ich bin ewer Tröster by Joachim a Burgk — Lyrics
Ich bin ewer Tröster, spricht aller Herren Herscher.
Hieran soltu gedencken,
was fürchstu dich für Menschen?
Die doch all müssen sterben,
keiner wird sich erwehren.
Was fürchstu ihre Kinder,
wie hew werd'n sie verschwinden.

About Ich bin ewer Tröster
This sacred hymn by Joachim a Burgk offers words of comfort and reassurance. Sung in German by an SATB choir, the text proclaims "I am your comforter, says the Lord of all Lords." It addresses the fear of human power, reminding singers that all people are mortal and their children will also pass away. The piece emphasizes the divine promise of protection, with God's word to be cherished and the "shadow of my hands" shielding the faithful. The text concludes with a powerful assertion of God's creative might, establishing heaven and earth and naming Zion as His people.
