from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Dort oben
 (Sung text for setting by H. Gál)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dort oben, dort oben an der himmlischen Tür,
und da steht eine arme Seele, schaut traurig herfür.
Arme Seel' mein, arme Seel' mein, komm zu mir doch herein,
und da werden deine Kleider ja alle so rein.
So weiß und so rein, und so weiß wie der Schnee,
und da woll'n wir miteinander ins Himmelreich eingeh'.
In das Himmelreich, in das Himmelreich, in das himmlische Paradies,
wo Gott Vater, wo Gott Sohne, wo Gott heil'ger Geist is'.
