Der Hüter aber sprach: Wenn der Morgen kommt, so wird er doch Nacht sein, wenn ihr schon fraget, so werdet ihr doch… wieder kommen und wieder fragen: Hüter, ist die Nacht bald hin? Die Nacht is vergangen! 7. Die Nacht ist vergangen Chorus, text after Romans 13:12 Die Nacht ist vergangen, der Tag aber herbeigekommen. So laßt uns ablegen die Werke der Finsternis, und anlegen die Waffen des Lichts und ergreifen die Waffen des Lichts. 8. Nun danket alle Gott Choral, text after the christian hymn "Nun danket alle Gott" by Martin Rinkart Nun danket alle Gott, mit Herzen, Mund und Händen. Der sich in aller Not will gnädig zu uns wenden, der so viel Gutes tut; von Kindesbeinen an, uns hielt in seiner Hut, und allen wohl getan. Lob, Ehr’ und Preis sie Gott, dem Vater und dem Sohne. Und seinem heil’gen Geist im höchsten Himmelsthrone. Lob dem dreiein’gen Geist, der Nacht und Dunkel schied von Licht und Morgenroth. Ihm danket unser Lied. 9. Drum sing ich mit meinem Liede Soprano Tenor Duet, text after Psalm 28, Psalm 31 and Psalm 103 Drum sing’ ich mit meinem Liede ewig, dein Lob, du treuer Gott. Und danke dir für alles Gute, das du an mir getan!
