I had such a profound experience singing this incredible
German hymn with a small Madrigals group a million years
ago in high school...so of course from time to time I
seek out versions others have done over the years, see
who nails the harmonies best, which sopranoes those
highest notes, etc... ;)
Coming into the holyday season did that search again this
morning, & came across this lovely highschool girl's
choir's version...very nice... ;)
You Are Repose
English translation © Richard Wigmore
You are repose
and gentle peace.
You are longing
and what stills it.
Full of joy and grief
I consecrate to you
my eyes and my heart
as a dwelling place.
Come in to me
and softly close
the gate
behind you.
Drive all other grief
from my breast.
Let my heart
be full of your joy.
The temple of my eyes
is lit
by your radiance alone:
O fill it wholly!
***
German lyrics
Du bist die Ruh
German source: Friedrich Rückert
Du bist die Ruh,
Der Friede mild,
Die Sehnsucht du,
Und was sie stillt.
Ich weihe dir
Voll Lust und Schmerz
Zur Wohnung hier
Mein Aug’ und Herz.
Kehr’ ein bei mir,
Und schliesse du
Still hinter dir
Die Pforten zu.
Treib andern Schmerz
Aus dieser Brust.
Voll sei dies Herz
Von deiner Lust.
Dies Augenzelt
Von deinem Glanz
Allein erhellt,
O füll’ es ganz.
