Kommt her zu mir, spricht Gottes Sohn by Johann Hermann Schein — Lyrics
About Kommt her zu mir, spricht Gottes Sohn
Johann Hermann Schein was a significant German composer of the early Baroque period. This sacred setting, Kommt her zu mir, spricht Gottes Sohn, for SATB voices in German, is a powerful reflection on a central tenet of Christian teaching. The text, which translates to 'Come unto me, saith the Son of God,' offers comfort and solace to the burdened, promising relief from sin and healing for spiritual wounds. Schein's music would have echoed the profound message of the text, drawing singers and listeners into its comforting embrace. The hymn's assurance of God's gentle yoke and the promise of heavenly reward for those who accept His help makes it a moving choice for reflective services.
