German.png German text

1) Es will das Licht des Tages scheiden,
es tritt die stille Nacht herein.
Ach könnte doch des Herzens Leiden
so wie der Tag vergangen sein!
Ich leg' mein Flehen dir zu Füßen,
o trag's empor zu Gottes Thron,
und lass, Madonna, lass dich grüßen,
mit des Gebetes frommem Ton:
Ave Maria! Ave Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria!
2) Es will das Licht des Glaubens scheiden
es tritt des Zweifels Nacht herein.
Das Gottvertraun der Jugendzeiten,
es soll mir weggenommen sein.
Erhalt', Madonna, mir im Alter
der Kindheit frohe Zuversicht;
schütz meine Harfe, meinen Psalter,
du bist mein Heil, du bist mein Licht!
Ave Maria! Ave Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria!
3) Es will das Licht des Lebens scheiden,
es tritt des Todes Nacht herein.
Die Seele will die Schwingen breiten,
es muss, es muss geschieden sein.
Madonna, ach in deine Hände
leg ich mein letztes heißes Fleh'n:
Erbitte mir ein gläubig Ende
und dann ein selig Auferstehn!
Ave Maria! Ave Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria!
