Du kamst endlich, Tag, kamest in spåter Zeit!
Du strahltest herauf, du zeigst dem Volk
Ein glanzhelles Licht, ihn, der in langer Flucht,
Fern vom Hause des Vaters, ach!
Umherirrend, wiederkam!

Ein Gott, ja, ein Gott bringt unseren Sieg,
O Freundin, zurück!
Hebe die Hånde, hebe das Wort,
Sende Gebete himmelan, daß mit Glück,
Mit Glück der Bruder einzieh' in der Våter Stadt!
