Verständigung
 (Sung text for setting by B. Randhartinger)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Weißt, Vöglein du, warum der Tag 
So heiter uns verstreicht, 
Warum es g'rade uns der Herr 
Vor Vielen macht so leicht.

Warum uns noch kein Harm, kein Leid,
Den muntern Sinn bezwang,
Warum wir jeden Erdenschmerz
Verschmerzen ob dem Sang? 

Das macht, weil er so dich als mich 
Zum Herold hat bestellt,
Daß wir ihn preisen froh und frei 
Im Lied vor aller Welt.
