Fest- und Gelegenheits-Gesänge für Männerchor

by Franz Wilhelm Abt (1819 - 1885)

1. Zum Stiftungsfeste  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Brüder, reicht die Hand zum Bunde!
Diese schöne Feierstunde
Führ uns hin zu lichten Höhn!
Laßt, was irdisch ist, entfliehen,
Unsrer Freundschaft Harmonien
  Dauern ewig, fest und schön.

Preis und Dank dem Weltenmeister,
Der die Herzen, der die Geister
Für ein ewig Wirken schuf!
Licht und Recht und Tugend schaffen
Durch der Wahrheit heil'ge Waffen,
  Sei uns göttlicher Beruf.

Ihr, auf diesem Stern die Besten,
Menschen all im Ost und Westen
Wie im Süden und im Nord!
Wahrheit suchen, Tugend üben,
Gott und Menschen herzlich lieben,
  Das sei unser Lösungswort.
