Das Herzensblümlein by Bernhard Klein — Lyrics
1.
Ich weiß ein Blümlein hübsch und fein,
es tut mir wohl gefallen;
es ruht mir in dem Herzen mein,
das Blümelein vor andern Blümlein allen.

About Das Herzensblümlein
Bernhard Klein's Das Herzensblümlein is a devotional TTBB setting of a German sacred text. The first verse speaks of a beautiful flower resting in the heart, cherished above all others. The second verse reveals this flower to be Jesus Christ, whose fragrant presence overcomes the guile and cunning of Satan. Klein's four-part arrangement would suit a Lenten or general sacred occasion, offering a rich blend of male voices to express the text's central metaphor of faith and spiritual solace. The composer's skillful handling of the text allows the simple yet profound imagery to shine through.
