Der Gesang
 (Sung text for setting by G. Graben-Hoffmann)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wo man singt, da, laß dich ruhig nieder,
Ohne Furcht, was man im Lande glaubt;
Wo man singt, da wird kein Mensch beraubt:
Böse Menschen haben keine Lieder.

 ... 

17. Des Gesanges Seelenleitung bringet
Jede Last der Arbeit schneller heim,
Mächtig vorwärts geht der Tugend Keim:
Weh dem Lande, wo man nicht mehr singet.
