by Johann Ludwig Uhland (1787 - 1862)

Das ist der Tag des Herrn!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE
Das ist der Tag des Herrn!
Ich bin allein auf weiter Flur;
Noch eine Morgenglocke nur,
Nun Stille nah und fern.

Anbetend knie ich hier.
O süßes Graun, geheimes Wehn,
Als knieten viele ungesehn
Und beteten mit mir.

Der Himmel nah und fern
Er ist so [klar]1 und feierlich,
So ganz, als wollt er öffnen sich.
Das ist der Tag des Herrn!

Note: Hensel's score has "Nur" in stanza 1, line 3, word 1, but this is probably a typo.
