First lines
"Nu rinder Solen op"
From Eastern quarters now / The sun's up-wandering, / His rays on the rock's brow / And hill's side squandering. / Be glad, my soul! and sing amidst thy pleasure, / Fly from the house of dust, / Up with thy thanks, and trust / To heaven's azure!
O, countless as the grains / Of sand so tiny, / Measureless as the main's / Deep waters briny, / God's mercy is, which He upon me showereth. / Each morning in my shell, / A grace immeasurable / To me down-poureth.
