Ich hab', o Herr, gehöret dich by Conrad Hagius — Lyrics
Ich hab, O Herr, gehöret dich,
und bin erschrocken grawsamlich,
schrocken ein grawen ist mir überkommen,
als ich hab deine red vernommen.
Für ausz dein werck gelegner frist,
wenn halb die zeit vergangen ist,
ja mitten in dem lauff der jaren,
thu dein für haben offenbaren.
Wenn du schon, Herr, erzornet bist,
dasz dein grimm hart erreget ist,

About Ich hab', o Herr, gehöret dich
The words of this German sacred hymn express a profound and awe-inspiring encounter with God's word, evoking a sense of fear and astonishment upon hearing it. The text reflects on God's divine power and majesty, noting how His glory covers the heavens and fills the earth. It speaks of God's wrath and judgment, but also His swift turn to mercy and His remembrance of His covenant. The composer Conrad Hagius sets this text for SATB choir, creating a musical setting for these powerful devotional sentiments. This hymn is a testament to the overwhelming presence of the divine and the comfort found in God's unending compassion.
