Der Tag neigt sich zu Ende
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Der Tag neigt sich zu Ende, Es kommt die stille Nacht; Nun ruht, ihr müden Hände, Das Tagwerk ist vollbracht. Du aber, Seele, ringe Dich von der Erde los, Und werde leicht und schwinge Dich auf in Gottes Schooß. Hinauf mit Glaubensflügeln, Die Liebe fliegt voran, Wo über dunkeln Hügeln Der Himmel aufgetan.
