Der Sonntag ist gekommen, Ein Sträußchen auf dem Hut; Sein Aug ist mild und heiter, Er meint's mit allen gut. Er steiget auf die Berge, Er wandelt durch das Tal, Er ladet zum Gebete Die Menschen allzumal. Und wie in schönen Kleidern Nun pranget jung und alt, Hat er für sie geschmücket [Die Flur und auch den Wald]1. Und wie er allen Freude Und [Frieden]2 bringt und Ruh, So [ruf auch du nun]3 jedem "Gott grüß dich" freundlich zu.

De zondag is gekomen, Een bloempje op de hoed; Zijn blik is mild en monter, Met allen meent hij 't goed. Hij klimt op in de bergen, Hij wandelt door het dal, Hij vraagt te komen bidden De mensen overal. En daar in mooie kleren Nu rondloopt jong en oud, Heeft hij voor hen versierd ook De beemden en het woud. En daar hij allen vreugde En rust en vrede brengt, Is 't goed dat jouw 'God groet je' Eenieder 'tzelfde schenkt.
