Am Grabe WAB 2 by Anton Bruckner — Lyrics
Brüder, trocknet eure Zähren,
stillt der Schmerzen herbes Leid,
Liebe kann sich auch bewähren
durch Ergebungsinnigkeit.

About Am Grabe WAB 2
Am Grabe is a setting for TTBB male voices of a German text concerning death and resurrection. It is suitable for funerals or memorial services, offering solace and encouragement. The lyrics speak of drying tears and overcoming suffering through devotion and trust in God. They reflect on the earthly end of life while affirming the triumph of the soul through faith. The music encourages praising the Lord, who chooses the worthy and keeps heaven open for those left behind. This piece offers a profound musical expression of Christian hope in the face of loss.
