Hymn
Language: English
At morn, at noon, at twilight dim, Maria, Thou hast heard my hymn: In joy and woe, in good and ill, Mother of God, be with me still. When the hours flew brightly by, And not a cloud obscured the sky, My soul, lest it should truant be, Thy grace did guide to Thine and thee. Now, when storms of fate o'ercast Darkly my present and my past, Let my future radiant shine With sweet hopes of Thee and thine.

Am Morgen, am Mittag, im Abendlicht vernahmst du, Maria, mein Lobgedicht. In Lust und Leid, in Wonne und Weh, Gottmutter, auch fernerhin mit mir geh! Als strahlende Stunden heiter entwichen und keine Wolken den Himmel durchstrichen, führtest du gnädig die Seele mir hin zu den Deinen, hin zu dir! Nun, da die Schicksalsstürme schrecken und dunkel mein Heute, mein Gestern bedecken, laß mein Morgen strahlend scheinen im holden Hoffen auf dich und die Deinen!
