Ihr Himmel höret meine Wort by Conrad Hagius — Lyrics
Ihr Himmel höret meine wort,
der Erdenkreis an allen ort,
thu fleissig mercken diese stund,
wolauff die red ausz meinen mund,
mein lehr wie regen triesse fein,
wie taw fliesse die rede mein.
Gleich wie ein fruchtbar regen gut
auff grüne kreuter trieffen thut,
wie tropffen viel zu guter masz
herunter fallen auff das gratz?
Den ich wil jetzt für jederman
des Herren Namen ruffen an.
Geht unserm Gott auff rechter weisz;
die herrligkeit und hohen preiss;
die werke Gottes ins gemein

About Ihr Himmel höret meine Wort
Conrad Hagius's Ihr Himmel höret meine Wort is a sacred setting for SATB choir, sung in German. The text is a profound invocation, calling upon the heavens and the earth to witness the speaker's words. It compares the divine teaching to the life-giving power of rain, emphasizing its nourishing and pervasive influence. The hymn then shifts to praise, extolling God's righteous ways, his unchanging works, and his unwavering faithfulness. It's a powerful call to recognize and proclaim the inherent justice and goodness of the Almighty, suitable for occasions of solemn reflection and communal praise.
