Fire Salmer by Edvard Grieg — Lyrics
I.
Hvad est du dog skjön,
Ja skjön, ja skjön.
Du allerlifligste Guds Sön!
O du min Sulamit, Sulamit,
Ja mit, ja mit,
Alt hvad jeg har er også dit.
Min Ven, du est min,
Ja min, ja min;
Så lad mig altid være din!
Ja vist, evig vist,
Ja vist, ja vist!
Du min skal blive her og hist.
Men tænk, jeg er her,
Ja her, ja her,
Iblandt så mange dragne Sværd!
O så kom, Due! kom Due!
Ja, kom, ja, kom!
I Klippens rif er Ro og Rum.
II.
Guds Sön har gjort mig fri

About Fire Salmer
Edvard Grieg's Fire Salmer are a set of four sacred anthems for choir and baritone solo. Written in Danish and Norwegian, these works draw upon a rich tradition of Nordic sacred music. The texts explore profound themes of divine love, salvation, and spiritual longing. The first movement, for instance, features a dialogue expressing devotion and seeking refuge in God. Later movements delve into the freedom from sin and the overwhelming power of Christ's sacrifice, offering a deeply personal reflection on faith and redemption. The SATTBB voicing, complemented by a solo baritone, allows for both grand choral statements and intimate solo moments, creating a powerful and moving musical experience.
