You can help us modernize! The present website has been online for a very long time and we want to bring it up to date. As of May 6, we are $2,380 away from our goal of $15,000 to fund the project. The fully redesigned site will be better for mobile, easier to read and navigate, and ready for the next decade. Please give today to join dozens of other supporters in making this important overhaul possible!

O glaube, mein Herz, o glaube

Language: German (Deutsch) 

Alt solo:
 O glaube, mein Herz, o glaube:
 Es geht dir nichts verloren!
 Dein ist, ja dein, was du gesehnt,
 Dein, was du geliebt, was du gestritten!

Sopran solo:
 O glaube: Du wardst nicht umsonst geboren!
 Hast nicht umsonst gelebt, gelitten!

Chor und Alt:
 Was entstanden ist, das muß vergehen!
 Was vergangen, auferstehen!
 Hör auf zu beben!
 Bereite dich zu leben!

Sopran und Alt solo:
 O Schmerz! Du Alldurchdringer!
 Dir bin ich entrungen.
 O Tod! Du Allbezwinger!
 Nun bist du bezwungen!
 Mit Flügeln, die ich mir errungen,
 In heißem Liebesstreben
 Werd ich entschweben
 Zum Licht, zu dem kein Aug' gedrungen!

Chor:
 Mit Flügeln, die ich mir errungen,
 Werd ich entschweben!
 Sterben werd' ich, um zu leben!
 Aufersteh'n, ja aufersteh'n wirst du,
 Mein Herz, in einem Nu!
 Was du geschlagen,
 Zu Gott wird es dich tragen!

Resurrection

Language: English after the German (Deutsch) 

Chorus and soprano:
 Arise, yes, you shall rise again my dust,
 after a short rest!
 He who called you
 will give you eternal life.
 You are sown to blossom anew.
 The lord of the harvest strides
 And gathers sheaves ...
 us who have passed away.

Alto solo:
 Oh believe, my heart, believe:
 Nothing will get lost!
 What you have longed for is yours!
 Yours, what you have loved, what you have strived for!

Soprano solo:
 Oh believe: you were not born in vain!
 You have not lived, suffered to no avail!

Chorus and alto:
 What has come into being must go!
 What is gone must rise again!
 Stop quaking!
 Be willing to live!

Soprano and alto solo:
 Oh pain! You all-penetrating power!
 I am wrested from you!
 Oh death! You all-conquering power!
 You are vanquished at last!
 With wings that I have gained
 in a fervent striving for love
 I shall rise to a light
 which no eye has ever seen!

Chorus:
 With wings that I have gained
 I shall rise!
 I shall die to live!
 Arise, yes, you shall rise again,
 my heart, in no time!
 What you have beaten
 to God it will bear you!
