Herausforderungslied vor der Schlacht bei Rosbach
 (Sung text for setting by C. Bach)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Heraus aus deiner Wolfesgruft,
furchtbares Heldenheer!
Heraus zum Streit in frische Luft,
mit Mut und Schlachtgewehr!

Wir kleiner Haufe wachen schon
und singen Schlachtgesang
und wecken dich mit Kriegeston,
mit Lärm und Waffenklang.

Was schlummerst du? Die träge Rast,
schickt die für Helden sich?
Wenn du gerechte Sache hast,
Warum verkriechst du dich?

Composition:

    Set to music by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714 - 1788), "Herausforderungslied vor der Schlacht bei Rosbach", Wq 199 no. 20 (1762-1774) [ voice and piano or harpsichord or organ ], from Oden mit Melodien, no. 20
