Treuheilig zu allen Zeiten

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Treuheilig zu allen Zeiten
War, was uns das Herz bewegt,
Wenn in den blauen Weiten
Des Himmels die Lerche schlägt.
Wie ist von all' dem Glanze
Das Herz mir worden weit!
"O, ewig unergründliche,
O goldene Frühlingszeit!"

Traumgolden gesponnene Netze
Wirft Sonne nun über die Welt,
Nun ist auf das Heben der Schätze
Deine junge Seele gestellt.
Die lauen Winde wecken
Die Blumen weit und breit,
"O, ewig unergründliche,
O goldene Frühlingszeit!"

Faithfully holy at all times

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Faithfully holy at all times
Was that which moves our hearts,
When in the blue expanses
Of heaven the lark sings.
How my heart opened wide
In response to all the radiance!
"Oh, eternally incomprehensible,
Oh, golden springtime!"

Nets woven of golden dreams
The sun now casts over the world,
Now your young soul is fixed on
The unearthing of treasures.
The mild breezes waken
The flowers far and wide,
"Oh, eternally incomprehensible,
Oh, golden springtime!"
