by Moritz Amster (1831 - 1903)

Unser Stern
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Freudenhymnen lasst erklingen[,]
Jubellieder stimmet an,
Denn es bricht auf goldnen Schwingen
Uns der schönste Tag heran.

Und der schönsten alle Sterne 
Glänzt am lichten Firmament[;]
In die Heimath, in der Ferne
Ihn mit Jubel jeder nennt.

Kaiserbraut[,] die hohe Holde[,]
Ist der Stern so hell und rein[;]
Zeichnet Ihn mit klarem Golde
Euch ins frohe Herz hinein.

Und er prange leuchtend immer
In des Volkes treuer Brust
Als des Glückes Zauberschimmer
Und der Freude reinste Lust.
