Fern im Ost beginnt die Sonne ihren Welterleuchtungsgang. Lechensang und Erntewonne sprossen ihrer Spur entlang, Brechet den Schlummer und säumet euch nicht die ihr begnadigt zu wandeln im Licht! Sorge und Not die das Herz euch beschwert wird von dem Strahle des Frührots verzehrt. Brechet den Schlummer und säumet euch nicht!

Loin à l'est, le soleil commence son chemin d'illumination du monde. Le chant de l'alouette et la joie de la récolte le suivent le long de son chemin, Éveillez-vous et ne tardez pas vous qui avez reçu la bénédiction de marcher dans la lumière ! Les soucis et la détresse qui pèsent sur votre cœur seront consumés par les rayons de l'aube. Éveillez-vous et ne tardez pas!
