Morgenlied
Die Frohe neubelebte Flur Singt ihrem Schöpfer Dank. O Herr und Vater der Natur. Dir tön’ auch mein Gesang!Der Lebensfreuden schenkst du viel Dem, der sich weislich freut.Dies sei, o Vater, stets das ZielBei meiner Fröhlichkeit.Ich kann mich noch des Lebens freun In dieser schönen Welt;Mein Herz soll dem geheiligt seinDer weislich sie erhält.
