About Bleibe bei uns
The German text Bleibe bei uns draws on the familiar biblical passage from Luke 24, where the disciples on the road to Emmaus beg Jesus to stay with them as evening falls. The composer Hans Michel Schletterer sets this plea for divine presence to music for SSA choir. The simple, direct German words express a profound sense of yearning and a desire for comfort and companionship as the day draws to a close. Schletterer's setting, in this sacred song, creates an atmosphere of gentle supplication, suitable for services or devotional concerts.
