Weil der Tag nun fanget an,

Since the day is now beginning

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Since the day is now beginning,
let everyone who can sing, sing.
Since the day is now beginning,
let everyone who can work, work.

A jubilant spirit and glad courage
make all work turn out well;
therefore at all times undertake
everything you do with joyfulness.
