Abendglöcklein by Friedrich Silcher — Lyrics
Glöcklein, Abendglöcklein läute
Frieden, Freude allen Menschen zu!
Helle lass dein Lied erschallen,
und bring' allen, und bring' allen
eine sanfte Ruh'!
Ruhe dem, der sorgt und weint,
Ruh' dem Freunde und dem Feind!
Glöcklein allen Lieben bringe du
sanfte Ruhe, und mir auch dazu!

About Abendglöcklein
As evening draws in, this gentle German Lied offers a moment of reflection and peace. Friedrich Silcher’s Abendglöcklein, set for two-part treble voices, calls on the evening bell to ring out peace and joy for all people, bringing soft rest to those who weep and to friend and foe alike. The text, rich with imagery of solace and divine blessing, evokes a prayer for tranquility and a hope for peaceful slumber. This setting is ideal for a choir seeking a tender, expressive piece that speaks to the universal human desire for comfort and serenity as the day concludes.
