by Richard von Kralik (1852 - 1934)

Welthymnus
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich höre Mond und Sonne
still preisen ihren Herrn.
Ihn preisen Feuer und Hitze,
Ihn preiset jeder Stern,
Ihn preiset Tau und Regen
und Frost und Kälte gern.

Alles, was keimt und grünet
auf Erden, saget Preis
dem Herren, Quell und Bronnen
rauschen Ihm laut und leis',
die Vögel des Himmels zwitschern
Ihm auch nach ihrer Weis'.

Die Fische, und was sich alles
in den Wassern sich regt,
die wild' und zahmen Tiere,
von Liebeskraft bewegt,
preisen nur Ihn, der alles
an seinem Busen hegt.
