Abendlied
 (Sung text for setting by L. Le Beau)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Der Tag neigt sich zu Ende,
Es kommt die stille Nacht; 
Nun ruht, ihr müden Hände,
Das Tagwerk ist vollbracht. 

Du aber, Seele, ringe
Dich von der Erde los, 
Und werde leicht und schwinge
Dich auf in Gottes Schooß. 

Hinauf mit Glaubensflügeln,
Die Liebe fliegt voran, 
Wo über dunkeln Hügeln
Der Himmel aufgetan.
