Und weiter gehn die Tage, Sie werden schnelle alt; Vielleicht kommt schon der letzte bald, Indes ich steh' und frage. Sie sind mit mir gegangen Wie Brüder Hand in Hand, Sie trieb und mich von Land zu Land Dasselbe Heimverlangen.

2. Gebet der Schiffer
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die Stunden eilen -- Mitternacht! Am Himmel ist nicht Mond, nicht Stern. Ob unsrer Reise halte Wacht, Madonna, Mutter unsres Herrn! Die Stunden eilen. Bank und Riff Sind nah. Madonna, lenke du Durch Sturm und Mitternacht das Schiff Dem Hafen und der Heimat zu! Die Stunden eilen ohne Rast. Madonna des Erbarmens du, Die du den Herrn geboren hast, Hilf uns dereinst zur ewigen Ruh!

Language: German (Deutsch)
Gib uns deine milde Hand! Von der Mutter Hand gerissen Irren wir in Finsternissen Kinder durch ein fremdes Land. Manchmal wenn es dunkel war, Schenkte eine Heimatweise Deiner Stimme wunderbar Licht und Trost der bangen Reise. Wandrer ohne Ziel und Pfad Irren wir in dunklen Weiten; Wolle du uns gnädig leiten, Bis der große Morgen naht!
