Komm, Gott Schöpfer, heiliger Geist by Johannes Eccard — 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, heiliger Geist
A foundational Lutheran hymn, Johannes Eccard's Komm, Gott Schöpfer, heiliger Geist is a powerful setting for SATTB voices. The German text is a direct appeal to the Holy Spirit, asking for divine inspiration, comfort, and strength. The choir will find rich opportunities to explore the text's devotional message, particularly in the verses that describe the Spirit as the Comforter, the gift of the Most High, and a source of love and fire. This sacred work is suitable for services during Pentecost or other occasions focused on the Holy Spirit's presence and guidance. Its direct address and earnest plea make it a meaningful choice for congregational reflection and choral expression.
