by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

Gott woll', daß ich daheime wär'
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Gott woll', daß ich daheime wär' 
Und all' der Weite Trost entbehr'.

Ich mein' daheim im Himmelreich, 
Da ich Gott schauet' ewiglich.

Gott segne dich, Sonne, Gott segne dich, Mond! 
Will hingehn, wo mein Schöpfer thront.

Wohlauf, mein Seel, und fleug empor,
Wo deiner harrt der himmlische Chor! 

Wohlauf, mein Herz und all mein Muth,
Und such das Gut ob allem Gut!
