Lied zur Geburtstagsfeier der viel geliebten königlichen Mutter Karoline
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Nimm hin, was heißer Dank dir weihet,
Es kommt aus tiefgerührter Brust,
Die deine Gnade hoch erfreuet.
O selig war mir deine Nähe.
Ich war mir kaum bewußt
Vor deiner Güte hohem Bild.

Wie glücklich, wer in deiner Nähe
Sich sonnt im Strahl der Majestät,
Ein Zeuge wie von deiner Höhe
Du Wohltun, Segen rings verbreitest.
Kein Armer trostlos von dir geht.
Du stets ein Schutzgott von ihm scheidest.

O hohe Mutter aller Künste,
Der Wissenschaft Beschirmerin,
Du gibst Veredlung dem Verdienste.
Ich kann nur dankbar stets dich preisen,
Zum Himmel fleh'n, o Königin,
Der uns in dir schon hier verheißen.
