Des Tages Weihe

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Schicksalslenker, blicke nieder,
Auf ein dankerfülltes Herz,
Uns belebt die Freude wieder,
Fern entfloh'n ist jeder Schmerz.

Und das Leid, es ist vergessen,
Durch die Nebel strahlt der Glanz
Deiner Größe unermessen,
Wie aus hellem Sternenkranz.

Liebevoll nahmst du der Leiden
Herben Kelch von Vaters Mund,
Darum ward in Fern und Weiten
Deine höchste Milde kund.

Schicksalslenker, blicke nieder,
Auf ein dankerfülltes Herz.

Dagwijding

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Lotbepaler, sla uw ogen
Op een vol en dankbaar hart;
Ons geeft vreugde nieuw vermogen,
Ver gevlucht is elke smart.
 
En 't verdriet, het is vergeten,
Door de nevel straalt de glans
Van uw grootheid ongemeten,
Als uit lichte sterrenkrans.
 
Liefdevol nam u het lijden,
De bitt're kelk van vaders mond;
Daarom werd aan alle zijden
Uw goedgunstigheid verkond.

Lotbepaler, sla uw ogen
Op een vol en dankbaar hart.
