| {{Text|German|
| |
| Wer recht in Freuden wandern will,
| |
| der geht der Sonn entgegen;
| |
| da ist der Wald so kirchenstill,
| |
| kein Lüftchen will sich regen;
| |
| noch sind nicht die Lerchen wach,
| |
| nur im hohen Gras der Bach
| |
| singt leise den Morgensegen.
| |
| | |
| Die ganze Welt ist wie ein Buch,
| |
| darin uns aufgeschrieben
| |
| in bunten Zeilen manch ein Spruch,
| |
| wie Gott uns treu geblieben;
| |
| Wald und Blumen, nah und fern,
| |
| und der helle Morgenstern
| |
| sind Zeugen von seinem Lieben.
| |
| | |
| Da zieht die Andacht wie ein Hauch
| |
| durch alle Sinnen leise;
| |
| da pocht ans Herz die Liebe auch
| |
| in ihrer stillen Weise;
| |
| pocht und pocht, bis sich's erschließt
| |
| und die Lippe überfließt
| |
| von jubelndem, lautem Preise.
| |
| | |
| Und plötzlich lässt die Nachtigall
| |
| im Busch ihr Lied erklingen,
| |
| in Berg und Tal erwacht der Schall
| |
| und will sich aufwärts schwingen,
| |
| und der Morgenröte Schein
| |
| stimmt in lichter Glut mit ein:
| |
| lasst uns dem Herrn lobsingen.}}

| {{Translation|English|
| |
| {{Vs|1}} What true delight by him is found,
| |
| Who gives the sun a greeting;
| |
| When sacred stillness reigns around,
| |
| No breezes leaflets meeting;
| |
| When the lark is yet asleep,
| |
| And the brooks o'ershaded creep,
| |
| Soft prayers for the morn repeating.
| |
| | |
| {{Vs|2}} The mighty world is like a book,
| |
| Spread open wide before us,
| |
| And we may read where'er we look,
| |
| How God is watching o'er us.
| |
| Tree and flow'ret, near and far,
| |
| And the brilliant morning star,
| |
| Give witness He careth for us.
| |
| | |
| {{Vs|3}} Devotion like the air doth move
| |
| Through ev'ry thought and feeling;
| |
| Each heart is gently taught by love
| |
| Her gates to be unsealing.
| |
| And when love an entrance makes,
| |
| Then the lip in praise outbreaks,
| |
| The joy that she brings revealing.
| |
| | |
| {{Vs|4}} And lo! the waking nightingale,
| |
| A sudden song outpouring,
| |
| Calls forth a voice from hill and dale,
| |
| Which soon is upward soaring;
| |
| And the cheerful morning-glow
| |
| Its Creator's praise doth show,
| |
| Whom be we still adoring.}}
