Lyrics

Denn alles Fleisch ist wie Gras
und alle Herrlichkeit des Menschen
wie des Grases Blumen.
Das Gras ist verdorret
und die Blume abgefallen.

So seid nun geduldig, lieben Brüder,
bis auf die Zukunft des Herrn.
Siehe, ein Ackermann wartet
auf die köstliche Frucht der Erde
und ist geduldig darüber, bis er empfahe
den Morgenregen und Abendregen.

Aber des Herrn Wort bleibet in Ewigkeit.

Die Erlöseten des Herrn werden wieder kommen,
und gen Zion kommen mit Jauchzen;
ewige Freude wird über ihrem Haupte sein;
Freude und Wonne werden sie ergreifen
und Schmerz und Seufzen wird weg müssen.

  • It is soooo disappointing to listen to Video No. 1 and then to moved into No. 2 and all you get is a dreadful commercial! Poor organization, or what? ;- (

  • @goldie0800

    I'm not getting a commercial. I hope this was a temporary glitch?

    Let me know if this is still happening.

  • This should be in everyones collection!! Majestic & Wonderful,My opinion only, " The Best"

  • Front part only as always, but it's one of my favorite of Klemperor. Glad to listen again.

    Thank you for sharing.

  • Masterful use of the brass against the tympani at about 2:50, then the tension is beautifully relieved by the chorus. The spine tingles.

    All those years of playing piano in whorehouses paid off.

    Johnny B. good. (He should have married Clara.)

  • Brahms is saying goodbye to his mother. Deeply touching.

  • does anybody know a website i could download from? l would be very greatful

  • Yikes! What in the world is that slipped-in advertising with a monkey and a commercial? Ugghh. I'll skip this video because of that ridiculous start. . . . very disappointing!

  • This is the best version I've heard so far. Like the top commenter writes, it has a measured solemn pace. Unlike some versions which sound almost like a military march. Cheers for uploading.....its on my bookmarks

  • ABER!!! ... Des Herrn Wort bleibet ... BLEIBET in EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWIGKEIT!! :-D
