Original text and translations

German text 1. Die helle Sonn' leucht't jetzt herfür, frölich vom Schlaf aufstehen wir. Gott Lob, der uns in dieser Nacht behütet vor des Teufels Macht! 2. Herr Christ, den Tag uns auch behüt vor Sünd' und Schand' durch deine Güt', laß deine lieben Engelein unsre Hüter und Wächter sein. 3. Laß unser Werk geraten wohl, was ein jeder ausrichten soll, daß unsre Arbeit, Müh' und Fleiß gereich zu dei'm Lob, Ehr' und Preis. (Melchior Vulpius, 1609)

English translation 1. The sun is shining, clear and bright, and joyously we greet the light. Praise God, who brought us through this night and kept us from the Devil's might. 2. Lord Christ, protect us through the day, by your good grace, from sin and shame. And set Your angel at our side who will watch, protect us, and guide. 3. May what we do succeed this day, as each one takes a diff’rent way, and may our labor bring to You the praise and honor that are due.
