VV1THERSPOUN AS GURNEMANZ Charfreitagszauber (Good FridaySpell, Part II) Du siehst, das istnicht so By Herbert W^itherspoon, Bass (In Qerman) 74144 12-inch, $1.50By Karl J6rn, Tenor, and Jean Miiller,Bass (In German) 55061 12-inch, 1.50 Gurnemanz: Thou seest, that is not so.The sad repentant tears of sinnersHave here with holy rainBesprinkled field and plain.And made them glow with beauty.All earthly creatures in delightAt the Redeemers trace so brightUplift their prayrs of duty. To see Him on the Cross they have no power:And so they smile upon redeemed man,Who with dread no more doth cower,Through Gods love made clean and pure:And now perceives each blade and flowerThat mortal foot to-day it need not dread;For, as the Lord in pity man did spare,And in His mercy for him bled,All men will keep, with pious care,To-day a tender tread.Then thanks the whole creation makes,With all that flowrs and fast goes hence,That trespass-pardoned Nature wakesNow to her day of Innocence. 378 VICTROLA B
