"Der Herr wird dich mit seiner Güte segnen" (The Lord will bless you with his goodness) is a Christian poem by Helmut Schlegel. It became a hymn of the genre Neues Geistliches Lied with a 1998 melody by Thomas Gabriel, part of the German Catholic hymnal Gotteslob.
History[edit]
The text was written by the Franciscan Helmut Schlegel, in seven stanzas and a refrain, both of four lines. It is based on the Priestly Blessing.[1]
The text has been set to music by Thomas Gabriel 1998, and was included in the German common Catholic hymnal Gotteslob as GL 452.[2][3] With a different melody by Winfried Heurich, it is part of the Gotteslob's regional section for the Diocese of Limburg as GL 849.[2]
On 3 October 1998 the hymn premiered for the Thanksgiving Service for the 25th Anniversary of the Office for Church Music of the Archdiocese of Freiburg in Freiburg Minster.[4]
In the Gotteslob, it is one of the pieces that is demanding both textually and musically.[4]
Music[edit]
The hymn does not contain any larger interval jumps besides a few fourths and the melody shows an increase in tension in the verses.[2]
