Morgengebet
 (Sung text for setting by F. Mendelssohn)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
O wunderbares, tiefes Schweigen,
Wie einsam ist's noch auf der Welt!
Die Wälder nur sich leise neigen,
Als ging' der Herr durchs stille Feld.

Ich fühl mich wie neu geschaffen,
Wo ist die Sorge nun und Not?
Was gestern noch mich wollt' erschlaffen,
dess schäm' ich mich im Morgenrot.

Die Welt mit ihrem Gram und Glücke
Will ich, ein Pilger, frohbereit
Betreten nur als eine Brücke
Zu dir, Herr, übern Strom der Zeit.

Pregària del matí
 (Sung text translation for setting by F. Mendelssohn)
 See original
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Oh meravellós, profund silenci,
quina solitud hi ha encara en el món!
Els boscos suaument s'inclinen
com si el Senyor passegés per el camp silenciós.

Jo em sento com engendrat de nou.
On són ara l'aflicció i el destret?
De tot allò que, encara ahir em volia afeblir,
me'n empegueeixo ara a la llum de l'aurora.

En el món, amb el seu neguit i joia,
vull jo, un pelegrí, entrar-hi alegrement,
com si fos un pont cap a Tu,
Senyor, sobre el corrent del temps.
