Schubert: Gott ist Mein Hirt (Choir of New College, Oxford)

Disclaimer: I do not own this!

Gott ist mein Hirt, mir wird nichts mangeln.
Er lagert mich auf grüne Weide,
Er leitet mich an stillen Bächen,
Er labt mein schmachtendes Gemüt,
Er führt mich auf gerechtem Stege
Zu seines Namens Ruhm.
Und wall' ich auch im Todesschattens Tale,
So wall' ich ohne Furcht,
Denn Du beschützest mich,
Dein Stab und Deine Stütze
Sind mir immerdar mein Trost.
Du richtest mir ein Freudenmahl
Im Angesicht der Feinde zu,
Du salbst mein Haupt mit Öle
Und schenkst mir volle Becher ein;
Mir folget Heil und Seligkeit
In diesem Leben nach,
Einst ruh' ich ew'ge Zeit
Dort in des Ew'gen [Haus]1

1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

In dem Moment, da durch Musik allein die Tränen rinnen, so handelt es sich gewiss um die höchste Form der Kunst auf Erden.

Mein herzliches Dankeschön aus der Schweiz.
