Musik: Volkslied "So viel Stern' am Himmel stehen"
Text: Wilhelm Hey (1789-1854)
Text: Wilhelm Hey (1789-1854)
- Do you know how many stars there be,
in the deep blue sky above?
Do you know all the clouds that flee
over all the world that we love.
God alone has count over all,
that not one be missed at all,
of the number that there be,
of the number that there be. - Do you know how many gnats do fly
on a sunny summers day?
Can you count all the fish that ply
the deep waters, on their way?
God called every one by his name
to bring life to them, all the same,
and that they all happy be,
and that they all happy be. - Do you know how many children rise
every morning from their bed,
so they all may, in a care-less guise,
through the day, be happy led.
God does take in all his pleasure,
his delight and we are his treasure,
and he knows and loves you too,
and he knows and loves you too.
