Sei nun gnädig, milder Himmel!
Language: German (Deutsch)
Simon, Lukas, Hanne, Chor Sei nun gnädig, milder Himmel! Öffne dich, und träufe Segen über unser Land herab! Laß deinen Tau die Erde wässern! Laß Regenguß die Furchen tränken! Laß deine Lüfte wehen sanft! Laß deine Sonne scheinen hell! Uns sprießet Überfluß alsdann, und deiner Güte Dank und Ruhm.
