by Georg Christian Dieffenbach (1822 - 1901)

Morgenfrühe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Vorüber ist die dunkle Nacht,
Schon ist die Lerche aufgewacht,
Schwingt sich empor mit Klingen.
Wach auf, wach auf, mein Herz, auch du 
Und schwing dich nach dem Himmel zu 
Mit Beten und mit Singen.

Wie singt es Morgens sich so gut,
Wenn du in Gottes Schuß geruht,
Bedeckt von Gnadenschwingen.
Und bricht erst an nach dieser Zeit 
Der Morgenglanz der Ewigkeit, --
Wie wird sich's dann erst singen!

Confirmed with Kinderlieder von G. Ch. Dieffenbach , Mainz: C. G. Kunze, 1854, page 4.
