Es hebt sich ein seliges Klingen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es hebt sich ein seliges Klingen,
die Sonne will aufersteh'n!
Zur duftigen Höhe sich schwingen
die steigenden Lerchen und singen:
O Welt, wie bist du so schön!

Wie rauschen mit jubelndem Schalle
die Ströme, die wogenden Seen,
des Waldesgrüns schattige Halle,
die Tale, die lieblichen alle:
O Welt, wie bist du so schön!

Es dränget sich Blüt' an Blüte,
welch' Wunder ist gescheh'n?
O Herz, bewahre, behüte
den Lenz dir im Gemüte,
o Welt, wie bist du so schön!
