Komm, heil'ger Geist by Dmitri Bortniansky — Lyrics
Komm, heil'ger Geist, erfülle uns're Herzen,
die Herzen deiner Gläubigen.
Komm und entzünde in ihnen das Feuer,
das Feuer deiner göttlichen Liebe.
Komm, heil'ger Geist, erleuchte uns,
dass wir erkennen unsere Sünden

About Komm, heil'ger Geist
Dmitri Bortniansky's Komm, heil'ger Geist is a sacred motet for SATB choir. The German text is a fervent prayer to the Holy Spirit, invoking divine presence to fill hearts with God's love and to illuminate believers' minds so they may recognise their sins and escape eternal death. The words implore the Spirit to strengthen the faithful, bestowing comfort and peace. Bortniansky's setting is a powerful expression of this devotional text, likely conceived for liturgical use within the Eastern Orthodox tradition, though composed in a Western European style that finds broad appeal.
