by Richard von Kralik (1852 - 1934)

Komm, sing ein schönes Lied uns vor
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Komm, sing ein schönes Lied uns vor,
Daß jeder Hörer froh dir lausche!
Es sprenge [unseres]1 Herzens Tor
Und mächtig durch die Seele rausche.

Du sei der Herold unsrer Lust,
Der Künder unsres tiefsten Sehnens!
Was still [geruht]2 in unsrer Brust,
Das ruf herauf in's Reich des Tönens!

Wenn deinen seligen Gesang
Du lässest durch die [Seelen]3 klingen,
Da löset sich der schwerste Drang,
Es ist, als sollt ich mit dir singen.

Es weichet weit die Welt des Scheins,
[Verklärt]4 von deines Liedes Flammen.
Mit dir nur fühlen wir uns eins
Und fließen aufgelöst zusammen.
