by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Gott willkommen, liebe Sonne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Gottwillkommen, liebe Sonne,
Tiefes, tiefes Himmelblau! 
Lang genug barg all die Wonne 
Regensturm und Nebelgrau! 
  Gottwillkommen, Vogellieder, 
Frische Winde, goldnes Grün! 
Gottwillkommen einmal wieder, 
O ihr hehren, klaren Flühn! 

  Herz! und mit dem schönen Morgen 
Wach vom Kummer auf auch du! 
Laß den alten Gott nur sorgen, 
Schlag wie einst voll Freud' und Ruh!
  Wie von letzter Nacht der Regen 
Klingend rauscht im Sonnenstrahl 
Und verrinnet an den Wegen, 
Laß verrinnen deine Qual! 

Confirmed with Liederbuch von Friedrich Oser, 1842-1874. Mit einem biographischen Verzeichnis der Componisten, Basel: Benno Schwabe, Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1875, pages 31-32.
