Die Trösterin der Betrübten by Johann Kaspar Aiblinger — Lyrics
Steig auf von meinen Tränen,
Maria Meeresstern,
dich suchet all mein Sehnen
dich, Mutter meines Herrn.
Dir dürft' ich alles klagen,
was mir das Herz bewegt,
dir alle Wünsche sagen,
die heimlich es gehegt.
Dich Königin der Hulden,
dich Herrin möcht ich seh'n,
dir könnt ich mein Verschulden,
mein Irren all gestehn.

About Die Trösterin der Betrübten
Johann Kaspar Aiblinger was a significant composer of sacred music in the late Classical and early Romantic periods. This setting of the German text Die Trösterin der Betrübten (The Comforter of the Sorrowful) is for TTB choir. The lyrics express a deep personal plea to the Virgin Mary, seeking her comfort and intercession. The singer pours out their heart, confessing their troubles, desires, and sins, finding solace in the imagined gentle gaze of the Queen of Heaven. The text moves from acknowledging sorrow to a profound commitment of life and all efforts to Mary’s honour and service, a heartfelt expression of faith and devotion.
