Funeral Service in Zurich – Secluar Funeral Service – How different is it at this hour that I hear around me!

Prayer and Meditation

No sleep cools my eyes, there the day is already approaching at my chamber window. My disturbed mind still tosses and turns between doubts and creates night ghosts. Fears, torment yourself no longer, my soul! Be happy! Here and there morning bells have already awakened. Not a single voice resounds from everyone in the early hours of the morning, how quiet it is still in the halls through the wide forest floor. I stand high above the valley, still with great joy, and look for the first rays, cool shivering in my deepest breast.

How different is it at this hour that I hear around me than from far away when the streams are running. And before everyone rises, the day's joys and woes, I, Lord God, want to praise you here alone in quiet heights. Now the woods are rustling louder, the morning light is sparkling, the lark is singing over the fields, beautiful earth, now wake up! What do you want to tell me, you green, laughing day? The lively thrushes beat drunkenly close in the dark haze. My field seems to be dreaming, it's very quiet under the trees,

I hear the quiet hours chime. It comes with every spring, rises like a sunken good. Far away from childhood, I walk in a hat of trusting eyes. A scent lies over the vastness, the secret bells are ringing. You're lucky, you're lucky! I see mother's hands, mistreated and hard - and yet so soft! She strives endlessly and gives and gives and yet remains rich. Safe in Ackers Grund, your blessings and worries sleep and make it a fairytale kingdom for me.
