Jesu, nun sei gepreiset, BWV 362 by Anonymous — Lyrics
Jesu, nun sei gepreiset
Zu diesem neuen Jahr,
Für dein' Gut', uns beweiset
In aller Noth und G'fahr:
Dass wir haben erlebet
Die neu' fröhliche Zeit,
Die voller Gnaden schwebet

About Jesu, nun sei gepreiset, BWV 362
This hymn tune, Jesu, nun sei gepreiset, is ideal for New Year's celebrations. The German text expresses gratitude for navigating the past year and offers a hopeful prayer for the year ahead, asking for protection and continued blessings. The SATB voicing offers rich harmonic possibilities for this devotional text. The composer is anonymous, but the tune is a fine example of German sacred hymnody. It would serve well in a service or concert setting marking the turn of the calendar year, with its focus on divine providence and renewal.
