by Abraham Emanuel Fröhlich (1796 - 1865)

Sonntagsglocken
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Sonntagsglocken, Freudenschall, 
Kündet laut und überall: 
Unser Glauben, Lieben, Hoffen 
Fröhlich sei es, frei und offen. 

Sonntagsglocken, ernster Klang, 
Rufet aller Welt entlang:  
Daß das Irdische nun schweige, 
Himmlischem das Herz sich neige!  

Sonntagsglocken, Festgelät', 
Stimmt zur Ruh' und Seligkeit; 
Und vor Gott vereinigt treten 
Wir mit Liedern und Gebeten. 

Confirmed with Abraham Emanuel Fröhlich, Gesammelte Schriften, sechster Band, Zürich: Friedrich Schultheß, 1861, page 251. Appears in Geistliche Lieder, in Kinder-Chöre.
