Des Tages Weihe
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE
Schicksalslenker, blicke nieder,
Auf ein dankerfülltes Herz,
Uns belebt die Freude wieder,
Fern entfloh'n ist jeder Schmerz.
Und das Leid, es ist vergessen,
Durch die Nebel strahlt der Glanz
Deiner Größe unermessen,
Wie aus hellem Sternenkranz.
Liebevoll nahmst du der Leiden
Herben Kelch von Vaters Mund,
Darum ward in Fern und Weiten
Deine höchste Milde kund.
Schicksalslenker, blicke nieder,
Auf ein dankerfülltes Herz.

La consécration du jour
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Maître du destin, jette un œil en bas
Sur un cœur plein de remerciements,
La joie nous fait revivre,
Toute douleur nous fuit.
Et le chagrin, il est oublié,
À travers la brume brille la lumière
De ta grandeur incommensurable,
Comme d'une couronne brillante d'étoiles.
Plein d'amour, tu as emporté du chagrin
La coupe amère loin des lèvres d'un père ;
Ainsi tout au loin
Ta haute bienveillance a été connue.
Maître du destin, jette un œil en bas
Sur un cœur plein de remerciements.
