Die kleinen, funkelnden Sterne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die kleinen, funkelnden Sterne,
hell leuchtet vom Himmel ihr Schein;
sie glüh'n aus himmlischer Ferne
hernieder so klar und so rein.
Hier unten irdisches Dunkel,
der Erde hinwogendes Weh';
du liebes Sternengefunkel,
welch' Trost, wenn ich strahlen dich seh'!

Ihr kleinen, funkelnden Sterne,
euch weih' ich auch meinen Sang,
ich hab' von Herzen euch gerne,
euch schulde ich ewigen Dank!
Ihr glüht da oben am Himmel,
ihr strahlet zu mir erdenwärts,
und himmelauf jauchzet in Liebe,
in seliger Liebe mein Herz!
