Jesus soll die Losung sein, WoO VI 17, No. 6 by Max Reger — Lyrics
Jesus soll die Losung sein,
da ein neues Jahr erschienen.
Jesu Name soll allein
denen zum Paniere dienen,
die in seinem Bunde stehn
und auf seinem Wege gehn.
Jesu Namen, Jesu Wort
soll bei uns in Zion schallen;
und so oft wir an den Ort,

About Jesus soll die Losung sein, WoO VI 17, No. 6
The words of this German hymn express a wish for Jesus to be the guiding principle and banner for a new year, and for his name and word to resound. The SATB setting by Max Reger imbues this devotional text with rich harmonic language. The music supports the lyrical themes of Jesus as the saviour of all citizens, a sign of grace for our community, and an incomparable treasure. The composer ensures that Jesus remains our protection and refuge, now and always. This sacred work is suitable for congregational singing or a choral offering.
