Männerchor Auf dunklem Irrweg in finstern Hainen wandelten wir am trüben Quell, Da sahen wir plötzlich ein Licht erscheinen, es dämmerte, es wurde hell! Und siehe! Es schwanden die falschen Götter, dem Tage wich die alte Nacht; Heil deinem Vater! Unserm Retter! Der uns Glauben und Hoffnung gebracht.

Men's chorus Wandering along a murky path through the dark woods We had lost our way along the muddy spring, Then suddenly, we saw a light appear, Day dawned, it became brighter! And see! The false gods faded away, Day was yielded to by the old night; Hail to your father! Our savior! He who brought us belief and hope.
