Werde laut, helle Stimme
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Werde laut, helle Stimme, daß dich die Unruhigen hören,
Geh hervor, süßer Ton, daß die Hörenden dich loben.
Erhebe dich, herrlicher Klang, daß du zum Schweigen bringst
den Lärm der unseligen Welt.
Erhebt euch denn, heilige Noten der herrlichen Musik,
heb an, heiliger Jubel des herrlichen Brautlieds.
Komm, überreicher Tropfen des ewigen Taus,
daß du feuchtest das dürre Gelände meines innersten Menschen.
Geh durch den Sinn des gehörlosen Toren,
Komm durch den Mund des sprachlosen Stummen,
Komm durch den Nebel des finstern Elends,
daß dir Lob daraus werde,
daß das unverschlossene Lied geh durch den verschlossenen Mund,
daß ich Lob sage dem höchsten Bräutigam und der heiligsten Braut.
