- No. 1 of the Zwei Motetten, Op. 29 (July 1860)
Lyricist : Paul Speratus,1523
Es ist das Heil uns kommen her von Gnad und lauter Güte;
die Werke helfen nimmermehr, sie mögen nicht behüten.
Der Glaub sieht Jesum Christum an; der hat g’nug für uns all getan,
er ist der Mittler worden.
---
Now unto us Salvation comes, by grace and purest favor;
our works, they offer help no more: they cannot give protection.
But faith shall Jesus Christ behold; who for us all enough hath done:
He is our Intercessor!
Performers : Chamber Choir of Europe
this is great, except for the incorrect pronunciation of 'her' and 'mehr' which should rhyme with 'hair', not 'here'.
Claire Kurdelak actually it is the correct pronunciation. “Herr” (Sir, Lord) should rhyme with “hair” but “her” (hither, here) does indeed rhyme with “here”, as does “mehr”.
"Herr" and "her" should sound the same. Bot rhymes with hair and not with here. As a german i know for sure.
@@pseudonym385 Obviously, not all Germans pronounce German in the same way. Listen to the Kammerchor Berlin:

Also, note how 'her' rhymes with 'mehr'. Would you rhyme 'mehr' with 'Herr' too??
Your neighbouring country, the Netherlands, is about five times smaller than Germany. Yet the pronunciation is wildly different between northern, middle and southern Netherlands. I guess it is no different in your country.
Brahms was from Hamburg (very northern); the poet Paul Speratus was from Baden-Württemberg (very southern). I guess it is pretty hard to claim a monopoly on knowledge about how these vowels 'should' sound.
"here" has wide pronunciation variation among English speakers. For example, some say here rhymes w/ 'ear.'
