Erntedank
 (Sung text for setting by S. Schmidt)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wenn der Sommer geht,
wenn das Korn gemäht,
Regen fällt, und Kühle
folgt der schweren Schwüle,
dann auch denke an das Brot
und an manche ferne Not.

Wenn es Erntezeit
ist auf den Fluren weit,
und die reife, süße
Frucht, Korn und Gemüse
reichlich lohnen Müh' und Bücken,
dann lasst uns Altäre schmücken.
