Morgenstille
 (Sung text for setting by B. Randhartinger)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Leiser tönt schon und will verklingen 
Wie Harfenklang der Segen der Nacht, 
Und leis und sacht 
Auf der Töne Schwingen, 
Horch, ist der Segen des Tags erwacht. 
  So zwischen Nacht und Tag, 
  Wie Herz und Seele sich freuen mag! 
  Morgenstille, selig allein, 
  Selig allein mit Gott zu sein! 

  Matter blitzt schon und will verschwimmen 
Der letzte Stern im dämmernden Blau, 
Aus dunkelm Grau 
Will der Tag erglimmen,
Nacht aber liegt noch auf Kluft und Au. 
  So zwischen Nacht und Tag, 
  Wie Herz und Seele sich freuen mag! 
  Morgenstille, selig allein, 
  Selig allein mit Gott zu sein!
