by Konrad (or Conrad) Hofmann von Nauborn (1829 - 1874)

Im Westen ist versunken der Sonne...
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im Westen ist versunken der Sonne goldner Schein,
Es neigen schlummertrunken das Haupt die Blümelein.
Das Schifflein eilt zum Hafen, der Mensch der Hütet zu:
o lass sie friedlich schlafen o lass sie friedlich schlafen
du Gott der Liebe du, du Gott der Liebe du.

Lass schlummern bis zum Morgen die weite Schöpfung dein
Und nimm hinweg die Sorgen und nimm hinweg die Pein.
Wenn Berg und Thale lachen nach friedlich stiller Ruh,
Lass Frisch die Welt erwachen lass Frisch die Welt erwachen
du Gott der Liebe du, du Gott der Liebe du.
