by (Carl Friedrich) Julius Altmann (1814 - 1873)

Licht ist immer droben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O du sanfter Himmelsschein, 
Der in's Herz uns blicket! 
O ihr Sterne goldenrein,
Die ihr winkt und nicket! 

Friedlich zieht ihr, glanzerhellt,
Durch die ew'gen Sphären.
Bis der Morgen naht der Welt,
Hold sie zu verklären. 

Immer grüßt uns Gottespracht,
Schauen wir nach Oben:
Hell der Tag und hell der Nacht  -- 
Licht ist immer droben. 

Confirmed with Urania: Musik-Zeitschrift, Achtundzwanzigster Jahrgang, Erfurt: Körner'schen Buchhandlung, in a group titled Stille Lieder, periodical issue no. 6, 1871, page 82.
