by Johann Ludwig Uhland (1787 - 1862)

Das ist der Tag des Herrn!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE
Das ist der Tag des Herrn!
Ich bin allein auf weiter Flur;
Noch eine Morgenglocke nur,
Nun Stille nah und fern.

Anbetend knie ich hier.
O süßes Graun, geheimes Wehn,
Als knieten viele ungesehn
Und beteten mit mir.

Der Himmel nah und fern
Er ist so klar und feierlich,
So ganz, als wollt er öffnen sich.
Das ist der Tag des Herrn!

Note: Hensel's score has "Nur" in stanza 1, line 3, word 1, but this is probably a typo.
