My mother (90) passed away at april 25th 2020 after a long and heavy struggle against cancer. She was always very impressed by this song . It will be played at her funeral at the end of this week. I pray for her and hope we will meet again.

Unbeschreiblich, welche wunderbare Kraft und gleichzeitig himmlische Ruhe in dieser Musik liegt. Solche Musik kann die Menschen zum Glauben (zurück)führen. Ich liebe dieses Lied!

Près de 36 ans après mon premier séjour à Taizé, je suis toujours aussi émue par ce chant si simple et si lancinant...à la fois joyeux et triste, profond et léger...
