Terzett ‑ Zu dir, o Herr, blickt alles auf
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
GABRIEL, URIEL:
 Zu dir, o Herr, blickt alles auf. 
 Um Speise fleht dich alles an. 
 Du öffnest deine Hand, 
 Gesättigt werden sie.

RAPHAEL:
 Du wendest ab dein Angesicht, 
 Da bebet alles und erstarrt. 
 Du nimmst den Odem weg, 
 In Staub zerfallen sie.

GABRIEL, URIEL, RAPHAEL:
 Den Odem hauchst du wieder aus, 
 Und neues Leben sproßt hervor. 
 Verjüngt ist die Gestalt der Erd' 
 An Reiz und Kraft.
