Morgenlied
Language: German (Deutsch)
Steht auf, ihr lieben Kinderlein, Der Morgenstern mit hellem Schein Läßt sich sehn frei gleich wie ein Held Und leuchtet in die ganze Welt. Sei willkommen, du lieber Tag, Vor dir die Nacht nicht bleiben mag, Leucht uns in unsre Herzen fein Mit deinem himmelischen Schein.
