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

Des Arabers Kameel' am Jordan gehen,
Der Götzendiener kniet auf Zion's Höhen,
Auf Sinai der Baalsverehrer steigt,
Und dort, o Gott -- wie ? dort dein Donner schweigt?

Wo in den Stein dein Finger Schrift gegraben,--
Wo deinen Schatten wir gesehen haben --
Im Feu'rgewande deine Majestät --
Du, den kein Leben schaut, der nicht vergeht! 

O laß dein Licht im Blitz sich offenbaren!
Entbrich den Speer den Händen der Barbaren!
Wie lang entweiht dein Land der Feinde Spott?
Wie lang steht leer dein Heiligthum, o Gott?
