by Fritz Rohrer (1848 - 1926)

Steige herauf, Tag des Herrn!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Steige herauf, Tag des Herrn! 
Liebliche Stille grüsse die Erde 
Leuchte des Himmels, flammender Stern: 
Grüsse die Welt mit Lustgeberde.

Walle empor, Friedenshauch! 
Schimmernder Rosen weiche Düfte 
Wehet der Liebe selige Lüfte 
Eures Altars Opferrauch. 

Himmlische Wonne, niederthau'! 
Bete an mit süssem Beben, 
Lass aus deinem Herzen schweben 
Gottes ewigen Tempelbau. 

Steige herauf, Sabathtag! 
Lasse der Seele kindliches Lallen, 
Sehnenden Herzens reinen Schlag: 
"Als ein Gebet zum Himmel wallen."
