by Friedrich Hölderlin (1770 - 1843)

Lied der Liebe
 (Sung text for setting by L. Hoiby)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Engelfreuden ahndend, wallen
Wir hinaus auf Gottes Flur,
Daß von Jubel widerhallen
Höhn und Tiefen der Natur.
Heute soll kein Auge trübe,
Sorge nicht hienieden sein,
Jedes Wesen soll der Liebe
Frei und froh, wie wir, sich weihn!

Singt den Jubel, Schwestern, Brüder,
Fest geschlungen, Hand in Hand!
Hand in Hand das Lied der Lieder,
Selig an der Liebe Band!
Steigt hinauf am Rebenhügel,
Blickt hinab ins Schattental!
Überall der Liebe Flügel,
Hold und herrlich überall!
