Score: SSATB, 2 C Instruments, Continuo
Composed by Andreas Hammerschmidt and edited by Harold Mueller, "Holy Is the Lord" is designated for use on Trinity Sunday, but may be used on other suitable occasions. In this cantata the traditional Sanctus (Isaiah 6:3), is used as the text rather than the Gospel for Trinity Sunday. To this is added a Doxology from Luther's chorale text of Psalm 67, es woll' uns Gott genädig sein. This composition consists of two main sections; the first part consists of three settings of "Holy Is the Lord," each of which is followed by a refrain, and the second part consists of the Doxology and concluding "Amen."
