Schicksalslenker, blicke nieder
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schicksalslenker, blicke nieder,
Auf ein treuerfülltes Herz,
Uns belebt die Freude wieder,
Unser Dank steigt himmelwärts.

Nie hast unser du vergessen,
Durch die Nebel strahlt der Glanz
Deiner Größe, unermessen,
Wie aus hellen Sternenkranz.

Liebevoll hast du die Wonne
Dieses Tages uns verliehn,
Darum fühlen wir im Herzen
Unsern Dank für dich erglüh'n.

Schicksalslenker, blicke nieder,
Auf ein dankerfülltes Herz.

About the headline (FAQ)

Note: The source of the text is unknown; Schubert's autograph is lost. This is the version published by Diabelli with the first edition (op. 146). Breitkopf & Härtel (Alte Gesamtausgabe) prints a somewhat different text, as conveyed in a copy of Schubert's score kept in the Witteczek-Spaun collection (Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, Wien), (see below).
