Gott hieß die Sonne glühen Und leuchten durch alle Welt, Er hieß die Rosen blühen Auf duftigem Blumenfeld. Er hieß die Berge sich türmen Und über die Lande erheben, Ließ Winde wehen und stürmen, Schuf vielgestaltiges Leben. Er gab den Vögeln Gefieder, Dem Meere sein ewiges Rauschen, Mir gab er sinnige Lieder, Euch Ohren, ihnen zu lauschen!

Dieu ordonna au soleil de briller Et d'éclairer le monde entier, Il ordonna aux roses de fleurir, Sur les prairies fleuries et parfumées. Il ordonna aux montagnes de se dresser Et de s'élever au-dessus des terres, Il laissa les vents souffler et tempêter, Il créa la vie sous de nombreuses formes. Il donna aux oiseaux le plumage, À la mer son bruit éternel, Il me donna des chants ingénieux Et à vous des oreilles pour les écouter !
