Herr, deine letzten Worte, WoO VI 17, No. 10 by Max Reger — Lyrics
Herr, deine letzten Worte, die unter heißen Schmerzen
dir an des Todes Pforte gedrungen aus dem Herzen,
die lass mich wohl bedenken und mich darein versenken
durch dein Erbarmen, o Jesu!
Herr, deine große Liebe lass mich daraus ersehen.
Ob alles auch zerstiebe, so bleibt mir diese stehen.

About Herr, deine letzten Worte, WoO VI 17, No. 10
Max Reger was a German composer, organist, pianist, and teacher, a significant figure in the late Romantic and early 20th century. This sacred German hymn, Herr, deine letzten Worte, is set for SATB choir. The text reflects on Jesus' final words from the cross, contemplating his immense love and the peace he won for believers. It speaks of holding fast to faith even amidst destruction, finding solace and eternal love in Jesus, and the assurance of peace that he achieved by conquering hell and the world. The music would suit a reflective moment in a service or concert, offering a profound meditation on Christ's sacrifice and enduring love.
