Die frohe neu belebte Flur, Singt ihrem Schöpfer Dank. O, Herr und Vater der Natur, Dir tön' auch mein Gesang! Der Lebensfreuden schenkst du viel Dem, der sich weislich freut; Dies sei, o Vater, stets das Ziel Bei meiner Fröhlichkeit. Ich kann mich noch des Lebens freu'n In dieser schönen Welt, Mein Herz soll dem geheiligt seyn Der weislich sie erhält. Wenn dann mir Müden winkt der Tod Zur bessern Welt zu gehn; So bricht ein schön'res Morgenroth Mir an beim Auferstehn.

Les champs joyeux fraîchement éveillés Chantent des remerciements à leur créateur. Ô Seigneur et Père de la nature, Que mon chant résonne pour toi ! Tu accordes de nombreux plaisirs de la vie À celui qui se réjouit sagement. Que cela soit ,ô père, toujours le but, Dans mon bonheur. Je peux encore jouir de la vie Dans ce monde magnifique ; Mon cœur sera consacré à celui Qui sagement la maintient. Puis quand, fatigué, la mort me fera signe, D'accéder à un monde meilleur, Une magnifique aurore percera Pour moi lors de la résurrection.
