Текст песни Johannes Brahms Requem John Eliot Gardiner - Herr, lehre doch mich

Tell me, Lord , mine end, and the measure of my days , what it is that I may know how frail I am .

Behold, thou hast made my days as an inch , and my age is as nothing before You.

Truly , the perfect vanity every man lives . Surely every man walks like a ghost , in vain , he fusses , and knows not who shall gather them . And now , what wait I for , Lord? My hope on you .

But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God and no torment touch them .
