ABC - Vzpomínka na všechny věrné zemřelé - 6 by Karel Bříza — Lyrics
Odp.: Má duše žízní po živém Bohu.
Jako laň prahne po vodách bystřin,tak prahne má duše po tobě, Bože!
Odp.
Má duše žízní po Bohu, po živém Bohu:kdy už smím přijít a spatřit Boží tvář?

About ABC - Vzpomínka na všechny věrné zemřelé - 6
This setting for two voices, Soprano and Tenor, by Karel Bříza opens with the plaintive cry of the soul yearning for God. The text, taken from a responsory for the departed, expresses a deep longing for divine presence, comparing the soul's thirst to that of a deer for water. The music reflects this spiritual ache, with the two voices interweaving to create a sense of intimate devotion and searching. The Czech lyrics speak of remembering past journeys towards God's house, filled with joy and praise, adding a layer of reflection to the overall plea for closeness to the divine. This is a piece of profound spiritual expression for a select vocal ensemble.
