The morning

28th June 1843

[1] Sublimely, the day’s mother approaches! – Darkness rather veiled around land and sea; how gloriously she shines now in her robe of splendor and gives joy all around!

[2] With it new life force-awakens, how does everything in the world move, how wonderfully the corridor shines in morning splendor, animated by the mighty glow of the sun!

[3] So the Lord also comes! First twilight, then brighter dawn, then light – until finally full day, pure, fresh and young breaks through the heart's thick night

[4] As long as the sun burns there in the sky, pleases the heart with it’s warming light – so also, as long as the heart confesses Me faithfully, you will not lack joy!

[5] You want to live a good life here, so speak faithfully in your chest the next verse alive always in you, and this one thus reads free:

[6] "Oh shine You eternal Sun of life the whole day of my life inside me! Serenely I then wear this earthly yoke refreshed and delighted in You!”
