Le Crucifix by Franz Liszt — Lyrics
German|French|
Leidender, komm, denn dies ist dein Gott, der dich heile.
Weinende, schaut im Tränentau sin göttlich Bild.
Fühlt, die ihr ach, verzagen wollt., wie er so mild.
Eilender du, vertraue ihm, daß er verweile.

About Le Crucifix
Franz Liszt, a titan of Romantic piano music, also composed a significant body of sacred works. Le Crucifix is a setting of a devotional French text, a prayerful invitation to the suffering, weeping, and fearful to find solace and healing in God. This solo low voice arrangement allows for an intimate and deeply personal delivery of the poignant message. The music draws the listener into a contemplative space, reflecting the profound faith and emotional depth characteristic of Liszt's later compositions. It offers a moment of quiet reflection and spiritual comfort, suitable for services or recitals seeking to explore themes of divine compassion and enduring presence.
