Gottvertrauen by Hugo Wolf — Lyrics
An Himmelshöh'n die Sterne geh'n in fester, stiller Bahn;
Der Mensch, das schwache Kind der Zeit,
blickt zu der ew'gen Herrlichkeit
Mit glaubensvollem Trost hinan.

About Gottvertrauen
Hugo Wolf's Gottvertrauen sets a German text that explores themes of faith and divine providence. The lyrics paint a picture of the vast, ordered cosmos, contrasting it with the fleeting human life. It speaks of finding solace and strength in belief, allowing one to face earthly struggles and even the prospect of death with unwavering trust in God's guidance. This setting for SATB voices captures the solemn yet hopeful sentiment of the text, suitable for a choir seeking to convey profound spiritual and philosophical ideas.
