Das ist der Tag des Herrn! Ich bin allein auf weiter Flur; Noch eine Morgenglocke nur, Nun Stille nah und fern. Anbetend knie ich hier. O süßes Graun, geheimes Wehn, Als knieten viele ungesehn Und beteten mit mir. Der Himmel nah und fern Er ist so [klar]1 und feierlich, So ganz, als wollt er öffnen sich. Das ist der Tag des Herrn!

Aquest és el dia del Senyor! Estic tot sol a l’àmplia campanya; tan sols una campanada matinal encara, i després silenci, a prop i al lluny. Pregant, m’agenollo aquí. Oh dolça basarda, secret calfred, com si molts, sense ser vistos, preguessin amb mi. El cel, proper i llunyà, és tan clar i tan solemne, tan íntegre, com si es volgués obrir. Aquest és el dia del Senyor!
