New Feature Alert


It’s now easier than ever to see both the author's and the composer's versions of a text!

After more than a year in development, I'm thrilled to announce that we've finally implemented the ability to view "sung texts" with all the modifications by a given composer already applied. Over 10,000 pages will benefit from this improvement. It should especially benefit those of you who need accurate texts for concert programs and CD booklets.

I'm excited to share this new feature with all of you and hope that it enhances your experience on the LiederNet Archive. Take some time to explore and enjoy! — Emily

Schlußgesang
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Herr! Du hast mein Fleh'n vernommen,
Selig pocht's in meiner Brust;
In die Welt hinaus, ins Leben
Folgt mir nun des Himmels Lust.

Dort auch bist ja Du mir nahe,
Überall und jederzeit;
Aller Orten ist Dein Tempel,
Wo das Herz sich fromm Dir weih't.

Segne, Herr, mich und die meinen!
Segne unsern Lebensgang!
Alles unser Thun und Wirken
Sey ein frommer Lobgesang!

Confirmed with Johann Philipp Neumann, Gesänge zur Feyer des heiligen Opfers der Messe. Nebst einem Anhange enthaltend: das Gebeth des Herrn. Wien, bey Anton von Haykul, 1827, page 12.

Chant de sortie
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Seigneur ! Tu as entendu mes implorations,
Bats sereinement dans ma poitrine ;
Dehors dans le monde, dans la vie
Maintenant la joie du ciel me suit.

Là aussi tu es près de moi,
Partout et à jamais.
Ton temple est en tous lieux,
Là où le cœur est pieusement consacré à toi.

Bénis, Seigneur, moi et les miens !
Bénis le cours de nos vies !
Que toutes nos actions et nos activités
Soient un chant de louange pieux !
