Komm, Gott Schöpfer by Martin Luther — Lyrics
Komm, Gott Schöpfer, heiliger Geist,
Besuch' das Herz der Menschen dein,
Mit Gnaden sie füll', wie du weißt,
Daß dein Geschöpf vorhin sein.
2. Denn du bist der Tröster genannt,
Des Allerhöchsten Gabe theuer,
Ein' geistlich' Salb' an uns gewandt,
Ein lebend Brunn, Lieb' und Feuer.
3. Zünd' uns ein Licht an im Verstand,
Gib und in's Herz der Liebe Brunst,
Das schwach' Fleisch' in uns, dir bekannt,
Erhalt, fest' dein' Kräft' und Gunst.
4. Du bist mit Gaben siebenfalt
Der Finger an Gott's rechter Hand;

About Komm, Gott Schöpfer
This German hymn, Komm, Gott Schöpfer, heiliger Geist, by Martin Luther, is an invocation for the Holy Spirit. The text expresses a deep desire for divine inspiration and guidance, asking the Spirit to visit and fill human hearts with grace, to be a comforter, and to imbue believers with love and understanding. The SATB setting would be suitable for services of Pentecost or other occasions focusing on the presence and work of the Holy Spirit within the church and in individual lives. The lyrics further petition for protection against deceit and for the steadfastness of God's grace, encouraging followers to embrace divine guidance and shun temptation.
