GABRIEL: In holder Anmut stehn, Mit jungem Grun geschmückt, Die wogigten Hügel da. Aus ihren Adern quillt In fließendem Kristall Der kühlende Bach hervor. URIEL: In frohen Kreisen schwebt, Sich wiegend in der Luft, Der munteren Vögel Schar. Den bunten Federgfanz Erhöht im Wechselflug Das goldene Sonnenlicht. RAPHAEL: Das helle Naß durchblitzt Der Fisch und windet sich Im steten Gewühl umher. Vom tiefsten Meeresgrund Walzet sich Leviathan Auf schaumender Weil' empor. GABRIEL, URIEL, RAPHAEL: Wie viel sind deiner Werk', o Gott! Wer fasset ihre Zahl? Wer, o Gott! Wer fasset ihre Zahl?

GABRIEL: Avec une grâce charmante, Décorées d'une verdure tendre, Les collines agitées se dressent. De leurs artères coule En un cristal liquide Le ruisseau frais. URIEL: En cercles joyeux vole Se balançant dans l'air La troupe des nombreux oiseaux. L'éclat de leurs plumes colorées Rehausse dans leur vol changeant La lumière dorée du soleil. RAPHAËL: L'onde claire est illuminée Par le poisson et il se tortille Dans une cohue constante. Du le plus profond de la mer Léviathan se roule Sur les vagues écumantes. GABRIEL, URIEL, RAPHAËL: Combien y-a-t-il de tes œuvres, ô Dieu ! Qui peut saisir leur nombre ? Qui, ô Dieu ! Qui peut saisir leur nombre ?
