Der du, Herr Jesu, WoO VI 17, No. 9 by Max Reger — Lyrics
Der du, Herr Jesu, Ruh und Rast
in deinem Grab gehalten hast,
gib, dass wir in dir ruhen all

die du erkauft mit deinem Blut,

About Der du, Herr Jesu, WoO VI 17, No. 9
These German words express a prayer to Jesus for rest and peace, asking for strength and courage purchased by his blood, and for guidance into heavenly light. The text speaks of gratitude to the Lamb of God, whose suffering on the cross is sought as a path to eternal life. Max Reger composed this setting for SATB choir, offering a sacred reflection on faith and redemption. Its hymn-like qualities make it a suitable choice for contemplation and devotion, drawing the listener into a profound spiritual experience through its earnest plea and expressions of divine grace.
