by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Wie mir der Himmel lacht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wie mir der Himmel lacht
Aus deinem Angesicht,
Du ahnst es nicht! 
Und wenn dein Mund ein einzig Wörtlein spricht,
Wie gleich voll Pracht
Mir himmlischer Gesang erwacht! 

Wie mir der Frühling lacht!
Aus jeder Knospe licht
Die Blüthe bricht!  
Dein ist das Himmelreich!  du ahnst es nicht,
Mit welcher Macht,
O Kind, mein Kind, dich Gott bedacht!

About the headline (FAQ)

Confirmed with Liederbuch von Friedrich Oser, Basel: Benno Schwabe. Appears in Hauslieder, no. 287, page 258.

Note: in the Kistner catalog, the entry reads: " No 1. "Wie mir der Himmel lacht," von Fr. Oser, Strophe II vom Componisten", which means Walther only used the first stanza above. We will make note of the stanza with which Walther replaced the second stanza when we obtain it.
