Dem Unveränderlichen by Gottfried Wilhelm Fink — Lyrics
1. Dem Ew'gen unsre Lieder,
was auch das Herz bewegt;
vertraut, vertraut ihr Brüder
dem, der die Welten trägt!
Er lässt wohl Blätter sterben
und Sonnen sich verglüh'n;
doch keins lässt er verderben,
‖: neu soll es auferblüh'n. :‖
2. Wenn Winterstürme schrecken
und starrer Frost gebeut,
lässt er die Erde decken
mit einem weißen Kleid;

About Dem Unveränderlichen
Gottfried Wilhelm Fink’s Dem Unveränderlichen offers a profound reflection on divine constancy, beginning with music that establishes a noble and steadfast character. The SATB setting for German voices unfolds with a texture that might suit either sacred or secular contexts, exploring the enduring nature of creation. The text speaks of God’s immutable power, comparing it to the cyclical yet ever-renewing processes of nature. From the shedding of leaves and fading of suns to the harshness of winter giving way to spring’s vibrant rebirth, it illustrates how all life ultimately springs forth anew. This progression encourages the listener to overcome despair, recognizing in the constant renewal of the world the unshakeable presence of divine love.
