O lieber Herre Gott, wecke uns auf,
daß wir bereit sein,
wenn dein Sohn kömmt,
ihn mit Freuden zu empfahen
und dir mit reinem Herzen zu dienen,
durch denselbigen deinen lieben Sohn
Jesum Christum, unsern Herren,
Amen.
O dear Lord God, wake us up,
so that we are ready,
when your Son comes,
to receive him with joy
and to serve you with a pure heart,
by the same, thy beloved Son
Jesus Christ, our Lord,
Amen.
It's a long time since I posted choral music. I was thinking of reposting Brahms' wonderful Im Herbst but decided to post this piece by Schutz instead. I could do a whole year long series of pieces by Schutz and not run out of masterpieces, pity he's less known than he should be. If I had it all to do over again, I think I'd have liked to be a choral conductor. That is if I couldn't be a jazz musician.
