BWV 16: Herr Gott dich loben wir

"Lord God We Praise Thee"

Bach wrote this one for a New Year's Day service in 1726. It includes lyrics from Martin Luther, Georg Christian Lehms, and Paul Eber.

BWV 16

Final Choral:

We praise all manner of Thy goodness
Father on the throne of heaven
that you make manifest to us
through Christ, Thy son,
and we further beseech You
give us a peaceful year,
Protect us from all sorrow
and nourish us gently.
