Ständchen zum Namensfest
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Horch! Horch! Horch!

Durch des gestirnten Abends Stille
erschallt der Musen heit'rer Chor
und sendet aus des Herzens Fülle
die reinsten Wünsche dir empor.
O neig', Verehrte, dich hernieder,
nimm gnädig diese kleinen Lieder,
Amalia, nimm sie gnädig an!

Sie tönen deines Namens Feier,
der uns wie Harmonien klingt,
der durch dich allen lieb und teuer,
dass milder Klang zum Herzen dringt.
O neig', Verehrte, dich hernieder,
nimm gnädig diese kleinen Lieder,
Amalia, nimm sie gnädig an!

Was Sterbliche beglücket,
was Himmlische beglücket,
was Paradiese schmücket,
sei deiner Güte Preis!
Ja, deine Tage malen
des Äthers reine Strahlen,
die Götterselber wallen
in deinem hehren Kreis.
