by Peter Cornelius (1824 - 1874)

Geheiligt werde dein Name
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG ENG
Die Sterne tönen ewig hohe Weisen im Wunderklang;
Und Wunderklang und hellen Psalmensang
Gabst du auch meiner Seele, dich zu preisen.
Wenn deinen Blumen gleich die Seele blühte nur einen Tag,
Den einen Tag mit lichtem Flügelschlag
Schwebte sie auf im Strahle deiner Güte.
Doch mag der Leib im Staube auch verwehen, die Seele lebt;
Die Seele lebt, weil sie dein Geist [umschwebt]1,
Weil sie dich ahnte, kann sie nie vergehen.
Sie wird von Stern zu Stern empor sich schwingen in Ewigkeit,
In Ewigkeit darf deiner Herrlichkeit,
Darf deiner Güte Preis und Lob sie singen.
