Kommt her und schauet die Werke des Herrn by Johann Heinrich Rolle — Lyrics
In finem. filiis Core, pro arcanis. Psalmus.
Deus noster refugium et virtus;
adjutor in tribulationibus quae invenerunt nos nimis.
Propterea non timebimus dum turbabitur terra,
et transferentur montes in cor maris.
Sonuerunt, et et turbatae sunt aquae eorum;
conturbati sunt montes in fortitudine ejus.
Fluminis impetus laetificat civitatem Dei:
sanctificavit tabernaculum suum Altissimus.
Deus in medio ejus, non commovebitur;
adjuvabit eam Deus mane diluculo.
Conturbatae sunt gentes, et inclinata sunt regna:

About Kommt her und schauet die Werke des Herrn
Johann Heinrich Rolle's motet Kommt her und schauet die Werke des Herrn is a sacred work for SATB choir. The text, which is sung in Latin and German, is drawn from Psalm 46. It speaks of God as a refuge and strength, a helper in times of trouble, reassuring singers and listeners that they need not fear even when the earth is shaken and mountains fall into the sea. The motet encourages contemplation of God's mighty works and his protection over his city. This piece is a powerful affirmation of faith and divine constancy in the face of turmoil, suitable for contemplative liturgical settings.
