2. Bergkirchlein  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Auf Bergesgipfel 
Ein Kirchlein blaut, 
Durch Lindenwipfel 
Zu Thal es schaut. 
Die Glocken regen 
Sich im Gebet, 
Und milder Segen 
Wie Mailuft weht. 

Dem Land zu Füßen 
Hält's treue Wacht, 
Mit Himmelsgrüßen 
In Erdennacht, 
Dem Himmel zu Häupten 
Weist stets es zu, 
Die Sorgenbestäubten 
Zur ew'gen Ruh'. 

O, Kirchlein droben, 
Dein Kreuz noch blinkt, 
Wenn duftumwoben 
Der Abend sinkt. 
Die Glocken regen 
Sich zum Gebet, 
Und milder Segen 
Zum Herzen weht.
