In dir ist Freude by Eberhard Arning — Lyrics
In dir ist Freude
in allem Leide,
o du süßer Jesu Christ!
Durch dich wir haben
himmlische Gaben,
du der wahre Heiland bist.
Hilfest von Schanden,
rettest von Banden.
Wer dir vertrauet,
hat wohl gebauet,
wird ewig bleiben.
Halleluja.
Zu deiner Güte
steht unser G’müte,
an dir wir kleben
im Tod und Leben;
nichts kann uns scheiden.
Halleluja.

About In dir ist Freude
Eberhard Arning’s setting of In dir ist Freude opens with a bright, exultant mood, reflecting the joyful German text. The SATB choir moves with clarity, often in homophonic blocks that project the message with power. The composer shapes the musical phrases to match the lyrical flow, building towards the repeated 'Halleluja' affirmations. The text expresses profound trust in Jesus Christ as a source of joy amidst suffering, offering heavenly gifts and salvation. It speaks of unwavering devotion, finding strength and protection from evil, the world, sin, and death through faith. The piece culminates in a jubilant celebration of God's power and love, a truly uplifting hymn for congregational or concert use.
