by Richard von Kralik (1852 - 1934)

Komm, sing ein schönes Lied uns vor
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Komm, sing ein schönes Lied uns vor,
Daß jeder Hörer froh dir lausche!
Es sprenge unseres Herzens Tor
Und mächtig durch die Seele rausche.

Du sei der Herold unsrer Lust,
Der Künder unsres tiefsten Sehnens!
Was still geruht in unsrer Brust,
Das ruf herauf in's Reich des Tönens!

Wenn deinen seligen Gesang
Du lässest durch die Seelen klingen,
Da löset sich der schwerste Drang,
Es ist, als sollt ich mit dir singen.

Es weichet weit die Welt des Scheins,
Verklärt von deines Liedes Flammen.
Mit dir nur fühlen wir uns eins
Und fließen aufgelöst zusammen.
