TEXTS AND TRANSLATIONS Kreek: Taaveti Laul Nr. 104
Schumann: Liebst du um Schönheit
Bless the Lord, O my soul! Praise the Lord! O Lord my God, Thou art very great. O Lord, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all. Glory be to Thee, O Lord, who has made all things! Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and evermore. Amen.
Love what has beauty: Oh, do not love me! Love always sunlight, So like your golden hair! Love what is childlike: Oh, do not love me! Love always Springtime, It comes back every year! Love what you treasure: Oh, do not love me! Love the wise Mermaid, Who comes with sparkling pearls. Love what is true love: Oh, yes, do love me! Love that is true love, Oh, yes, do love me! Love me forever, Such love I give to you!
André Thomas (b. 1952)
