by Adelbert von Chamisso (1781 - 1838)

Willkommen, du Gottes Sonne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Available translation(s): ENG
Maria sang:
 Willkommen, du Gottes Sonne,
 Willkommen im Himmelsraum!
 Hast freudig mich aufgewecket
 Aus einem freudigen Traum.

 Erschaust du meinen Geliebten,
 O [schmeichl ihm]1 mit freundlichem Strahl,
 Und sag ihm, ich ließ' ihn grüßen,
 Ja grüßen viel tausend Mal.
