Rheinberger: Morgenlied
Sofia Kammarkör

The stars have faded
with their golden glow,
soon will the night be past,
[and] the morning will arrive.

Now deep silence reigns
in the valley and over all.
On freshly-bedewed branches
sings only the nightingale.

She sings praise and glory
to the exalted Lord of the world
who over land and sea
holds the hand of blessing.

He has banished the night,
fear nothing, you children;
always comes to those whom he loves
the Father of all lights.
