Erwachen

Language: German

Die Nacht vergeht nach süßer Ruh,
hör mein Gebet, Allmächt'ger, du!
Der du dein Bild, den Menschen, schufst,
die Gattin mild ans Herz ihm rufst.
O, laß den Trieb der Liebe mein
der ew'gen Lieb' ein Abbild sein,
daß jeder Tag, mit ihm vereint,
mir scheinen mag, wie dieser scheint.
Bis Liebe geht dem Himmel zu
hör' mein Gebet, Allmächt'ger, du!

Awaking

Language: English

The night is past, to Thee I bow,
Hear this my prayer, Almighty, Thow!
Thou didst Thine image, man, create,
And helpmeet mild to share his fate;
O let the current of my love
Reflection be of Thine above;
That ev'ry day together passed,
May be as bright from first to last:
Till Love heavenward doth flow,
Hear this my prayer, Almighty, Thou!
