A Lenten Musical Journey, Day 27

A Lenten Musical Journey, Day 27

Johann Sebastian Bach.jpgI can never stay away from Bach for long. As evidenced by today’s selection, his “Komm, süßer Tod:”

Komm, süßer Tod, komm selge Ruh! 
Komm führe mich in Friede, 
Weil ich der Welt bin müde, 
Ach komm! ich wart auf dich, 
Komm bald und führe mich, 
Drück mir die Augen zu. 
Komm, selge Ruh! 

Come, sweet death, come blessed rest! 
Come lead me to peace 
For I am weary of the world, 
Oh come! I wait for you, 
Come soon and lead me, 
Close my eyes. 
Come, blessed rest!
