 O Jesu, nomen dulce from Kleine gestliche Konzerte                                                            Heinrich Schütz (1585 – 1672)

O Jesus, sweet name, wondrous name, name that imparts strength,

what indeed is more delightful to sing,

what is more pleasing to hear,

what is sweeter to think on

than Jesus, the son of God?

O name of Jesus, true food of the soul,

honey in my mouth, melody in my ear,

joy in my heart,

And thus, sweetest Jesus,

I shall carry thy name forever on my lips.

 

 

Wie wenn der Adler                                                                                                                                         Heinrich Schütz

1. As if the eagle soars (alights) from the cliff

3. What God joined, let no man put asunder;

Leaving the rock behind,

As He is willing to have it, so shall it be.

Surging toward the sun,

The moral will be generously rewarded

That is the way I feel right now,

As by a hostess in the service of the Lord.

As I can imagine how you must feel tied together.

What God joined, let no man put asunder;

 

 

2. Heaven let this happen.

4. Gold should forever adorn your right hand,

The stars were not against you.

And always honor the growing tree.

The aged Saxon hero is pleased with you.

A new world is in the future.

Roses in the air, we imagine that

Therefore, as always the moon will rise with his sun.

Your marriage will be blessed.

Gold should forever adorn your right hand,
