Fun Facts:
1. The lyrics in this song were inspired by John 16:22 - "So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy."
2. This song begins the fifth movement of Brahms' "A German Requieum."
3. The fifth movement of the requieum was actually the sixth and final movement composed. The first couple public performances of the requieum were considered rather asymmetrical and unbalanced until this movement was completed.
Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit;
Aber ich will euch wieder sehen und euer Herz soll sich freuen
Und eure Freude soll neimand von euch nehmen.
GERMAN
Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit;
Aber ich will euch wieder sehen und euer Herz soll sich freuen
Und eure Freude soll neimand von euch nehmen.
ENGLISH

And no one will take away your joy.
