Denn alles Fleisch, es ist wie Gras
Johannes Brahms
For all flesh is as grass
For all flesh is as grass
and all the glory of man
like the flower of the grass
The grass withers, and the flower falls.
(I Peter 1, 24)
So be patient, dear brothers,
until the coming of the Lord.
Behold, a farmer waits
for the precious fruit of the earth
and is patient about it
until he receives the early and late rains.
So be patient.
(James 5, 7)
For all flesh is as grass
and all the glory of man
like the flower of the grass
The grass withers
and the flower falls.
But the word of the Lord remains forever.
(I Peter 1, 24-25)
The redeemed of the Lord will return
and come to Zion with singing;
everlasting joy will be upon their heads;
they will obtain joy and gladness,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
(Isaiah 35, 10)
