New Feature Alert


It’s now easier than ever to see both the author's and the composer's versions of a text!

After more than a year in development, I'm thrilled to announce that we've finally implemented the ability to view "sung texts" with all the modifications by a given composer already applied. Over 10,000 pages will benefit from this improvement. It should especially benefit those of you who need accurate texts for concert programs and CD booklets.

I'm excited to share this new feature with all of you and hope that it enhances your experience on the LiederNet Archive. Take some time to explore and enjoy! — Emily

In der Zeit: Sprach der Herr Jesus zu den Schaaren der Juden:
Mein Fleisch ist wahrhaftig eine Speiß,
[und]1 mein Blut ist wahrhaftig ein Trank.
Wer mein Fleisch [isset]2, und trinket mein Blut,
der bleibt in mir, und ich in ihm.
Wie mich gesandt [hat]1 der lebendige Vater,
und ich lebe um des Vaters willen:
Also, [der]3 mich isset, [derselbige]1 wird auch leben um meinet willen.
Dieses ist das Brod, das vom Himmel [kommen] ist.
Nicht wie eure Väter haben Himmelbrod gegessen, und sind gestorben. 
Wer von diesem Brot [isset]5, der wird leben in Ewigkeit.
