Jesu mein Herr und Gott allein by Johann Theile — Lyrics
Jesu, mein Herr und Gott allein,
wie süß ist mir der Nahme dein,
es kann kein Trauren seyn so schwer,
dein süßer Nahme erfreut vielmehr,
kein Elend mag so bitter seyn,
dein süßer Trost erleuchtet fein,
drumb wil ich, weil ich lobe noch,
das Creutz dich willig tragen noch,

About Jesu mein Herr und Gott allein
A reflective solo motet for soprano, Jesu mein Herr und Gott allein is a German sacred setting by Johann Theile. The text expresses profound devotion to Jesus, finding solace and strength in his name even amidst suffering. The soprano soloist is called upon to convey the deep personal faith and longing for spiritual union articulated in the words. Its intimate nature makes it suitable for moments of quiet contemplation or as a moving solo feature within a larger sacred service. The music would provide an opportunity for the singer to explore themes of trust, comfort, and ultimate surrender to divine will.
