Gebet, Op. 60, Nr. 4 by Max Bruch — Lyrics
Herr, schicke, was Du willt,
ein Liebes oder Leides;
ich bin vergnügt, daß beides
aus Deinen Händen quillt.
Wollest mit Freuden

About Gebet, Op. 60, Nr. 4
Max Bruch's Gebet, Op. 60, Nr. 4, is a sacred setting for SATB choir in German. The text, drawn from Eduard Mörike's poetry, expresses a profound surrender to God's will, accepting both joy and suffering as gifts from a loving hand. The composer crafts a moving musical response to these words of humble acceptance, finding a 'sweet contentment' in the middle path. Bruch's rich harmonies and soaring melodic lines convey the deep spiritual peace central to the text, making this a compelling devotional anthem for mixed-voice choirs.
