Sonntag
 (Sung text for setting by O. Dresel)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Der Sonntag ist gekommen,
Ein Sträußchen auf dem Hut;
Sein Aug ist mild und heiter,
Er meint's mit allen gut.

Er steiget auf die Berge,
Er wandelt durch das Tal,
Er ladet zum Gebete
Die Menschen allzumal.

Und wie in schönen Kleidern
Nun pranget jung und alt,
Hat er für sie geschmücket
Die Fluren und den Wald.

Und wie er allen Freude
Und Friede bringt und Ruh,
So ruf' nun du auch jedem
"Gott grüß dich" freundlich zu.
