Bleibe, Abend will es werden by Albert Becker — Lyrics
Bleibe, Abend will es werden,
und der Tag hat sich geneigt;
bleibe, Herr, bei uns auf Erden,
bis die letzte Klage schweigt.
Wer soll unsre Tränen stillen,
wenn es deine Hand nicht tut;
wer des Herzens Zug erfüllen,
wenn nicht deine Liebesglut?

About Bleibe, Abend will es werden
The German text Bleibe, Abend will es werden paints a poignant picture of the fading day and the weariness of earthly existence. It is a plea for divine presence and solace as night falls, asking for comfort from sorrow and for the heart's true desires to be fulfilled. The composer Albert Becker sets this devotional text for SATB choir, creating a sacred evening piece that speaks of the soul's yearning for heavenly guidance and peace amidst the uncertainties of life. The music offers a musical response to the lyrical expressions of faith and the hope for divine companionship.
