VOCES8: 'Du som gick före oss' by Sven-Erik Bäck

A Swedish hymn 'Du som gick före oss’ by Sven-Erik Bäck, filmed at St Davids Cathedral, Wales. It's based around a melody which uses all 12 semitones of the octave, and is no. 74 in the standard Swedish Psalmboken. Text by Olov Hartman: Du som gick före oss längst in i ångesten, hjälp oss att finna dig, Herre, i mörkret. Du som bar all vår skuld in i förlåtelsen, du är vårt hjärtas fred, Jesus, för evigt. Du som med livets bröd går genom tid och rum, giv oss för varje dag, Kristus, det brödet. Du som går före oss ut i en trasig värld, sänd oss med fred och bröd, Herre, i världen. Translation: You who went before us deep in anxiety, help us find you, Lord, in the dark. You who bore all our guilt into forgiveness, you are the peace of our hearts, Jesus, forever. You as with the bread of life goes through time and space, give us for every day, Christ, that bread. You who go before us out into a broken world, send us with peace and bread, Lord, in the world. ​​​​​​​​ ---- VOCES8 is the no. 1 streamed classical vocal ensemble in the world.
