Hymne IV
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich sag' es jedem, daß er lebt
Und auferstanden ist,
Daß er in unsrer Mitte schwebt
Und ewig bei uns ist.
Ich sag' es jedem, jeder sagt
Es seinen Freunden gleich,
Daß bald an allen Orten tagt
Das neue Himmelreich.
Jetzt scheint die Welt dem neuen Sinn
Erst wie ein Vaterland;
Ein neues Leben nimmt man hin
Entzückt aus seiner Hand.
Hinunter in das tiefe Meer
Versank des Todes Graun,
Und jeder kann nun leicht und hehr
In seine Zukunft schaun.
Der dunkle Weg, den er betrat,
Geht in den Himmel aus,
Und wer nur hört auf seinen Rath,
Kommt auch in Vaters Haus.
Nun weint auch keiner mehr allhie,
Wenn Eins die Augen schließt,
Vom Wiedersehn, spät oder früh,
Wird dieser Schmerz versüßt.
Es kann zu jeder guten That
Ein jeder frischer glühn,
Denn herrlich wird ihm diese Saat
In schönern Fluren blühn.
Er lebt, und wird nun bei uns seyn,
Wenn alles uns verläßt!
Und so soll dieser Tag uns seyn
Ein Weltverjüngungs-Fest.

I tell everyone that He lives
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
I tell everyone that He lives
And has risen [from the dead],
That He hovers in our midst
And is with us eternally.
I tell it to everyone, everyone tells
His friends immediately
That soon everywhere shall dawn
The new kingdom of Heaven.
Only now to the new spirit the world
Appears to be a homeland;
Enraptured, one accepts a new life
From His hand.
Down into the deep sea
The terror of death has sunk,
And everyone may now with a light heart and loftily
Gaze into his future.
The dark path on which He walked
Ends in Heaven,
And he who listens to His counsel
Shall also reach the house of the Father.
No one weeps any longer here [on earth];
When one [of us] closes his eyes [in death],
This pain is sweetened by the thought that
We shall see each other again, later or earlier.
Each one [of us] can approach every
Good deed with fresher ardour.
For gloriously shall this sowing bloom
For him in more beautiful meadows.
He lives, and shall now be with us
When everything else deserts us!
And thus shall this day be for us
A festival of the rejuvenation of the world.
