Erhabner! Erhabner! Verehrter Freund der Jugend! Zu deines Festes Feyer Deiner Weisheit, deiner Tugend Nimm unsrer Herzen Huldigung. Ja, wenn der Waisen Bitten frommen, Die heut' für dich zum Himmel glühn, Muß oft der frohe Tag noch kommen, Lang deines Lebens Freuden blühn. Germanien, in fernen Zonen Nennen Waisen Vater dich, Dein Haupt umglänzen Bürgerkronen, Und gute Fürsten lieben dich. Ein Hochgefühl und reine Freude Hält immer uns mit dir vereint, Ein lorbeerreicher Nestor scheide Einst spät von uns und allbeweint.

Your eminence! Your eminence! Respected friend of youth! On your festive celebration of Your wisdom, your virtue, Accept the homage of our hearts. Yes, if the orphans' petition is granted (The prayers that are burning their way to heaven for you today) There will have to be many happy returns of this day, Long may the joys of your life blossom. German speaking people in distant regions Call you the Father of Orphans. Your head is wreathed with civil crowns And good princes love you. May a noble feeling and pure joy Keep us united with you always. May this Nestor, rich in laurels, leave Us as late as possible, universally lamented.
