Heilige Sonntagsstille
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Heilige Sonntagsstille
Weilet über der Au,
Drüber im milden Scheine,
Wölbt sich das tiefe, reine
Unendliche Himmelsblau.

Leise klingen die Glocken
Sanft an mein lauschendes Ohr,
Sanft durchzieht's mich wie Friede.
Klingt nicht aus ihrem Liede
Ein Gruss aus der Heimath hervor?
