Jesu, nun sei gepreiset by Johann Hermann Schein — Lyrics
Jesu, nun sei gepreiset
Zu diesem neuen Jahr
Für dein Güt', uns beweiset
In aller Not und G'fahr.
Dass wir haben erlebet
Die neu' fröhliche Zeit,
Die voller Gnaden schwebet
Und ew'ger Seligkeit.
Dass wir in guter Stille
Das alt' Jahr hab'n erfüllet.
Wir woll'n uns dir ergeben
Jetzund und immerdar:
Behüt' Leib, Seel' und Leben
Hinfort das ganze Jahr.
Lass uns das Jahr vollbringen
Zu Lob dem Namen dein,
Dass wir demselben singen
In der Christen Gemein'.
Wollst uns das Leben fristen
Durch dein allmächtig' Hand.
Erhalt dein liebe Christen

About Jesu, nun sei gepreiset
Johann Hermann Schein's Jesu, nun sei gepreiset opens with a sense of fervent devotion, immediately establishing a clear and direct musical path. The German text is a hymn of thanksgiving and petition for the new year. It expresses gratitude for God's protection through difficult times and asks for continued guidance, blessing, and peace throughout the coming twelve months. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic support and contrapuntal interest, enhancing the solemnity and sincerity of the devotional message. This sacred work is well-suited for occasions marking new beginnings or expressing communal faith and reliance on divine providence.
