by Franz Alfred Muth (1839 - 1890)

Nun kommt die Nacht, so blau, so warm
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Nun kommt die Nacht, so blau, so warm,
Es ist der Tag verweht,
Die Seele ruht in Gottes Arm
Und flüstert ein Gebet.

  Und wie sie fleht, da brechen sacht,
Die Sterne all' hervor --
Als öffne sich in dieser Nacht
Des Himmels golden Thor.

  O heil'ge Nacht, so liebeswarm,
Es ist der Tag verweht,
Die Seele ruht in Gottes Arm
Und flüstert ein Gebet.
