2 Geistliche Lieder, Op.105 by Max Reger — Lyrics
;No. 1
Friedrich von Hardenberg (17721801)
Ich sehe dich in tausend Bildern,
Maria, lieblich ausgedrückt,
Doch keins von allen kann dich schildern,
Wie meine Seele dich erblickt.
Ich weiß nur, daß der Welt Getümmel
Seitdem mir wie ein Traum verweht
Und ein unnennbar süßer Himmel

About 2 Geistliche Lieder, Op.105
These two sacred songs by Max Reger are settings of German texts, suitable for a solo medium voice. The first, Ich sehe dich in tausend Bildern, is a setting of poetry by Friedrich von Hardenberg, expressing an ineffable spiritual vision of Mary that transcends worldly distraction, replacing it with a sense of eternal heavenly peace. The second song is a direct paraphrase of Psalm 62, presenting a message of steadfast trust in God as a refuge and protector against all adversity. Both works showcase Reger's characteristic harmonic language and profound emotional depth within the intimate format of a solo song.
