Die aufgehende Sonne by Joseph Gersbach — Lyrics
1.
In Morgenrot gekleidet beginnt sie ihren Lauf,
die schöne große Sonne, wie herrlich geht sie auf!
2.
Willkommen uns, willkommen, des guten Gottes Bild!
So groß und so erhaben, und doch so sanft und mild!

About Die aufgehende Sonne
Joseph Gersbach's Die aufgehende Sonne is a secular German partsong for SATB choir. The text celebrates the beauty and grandeur of the rising sun, likening its emergence to a divine and benevolent force. It speaks of the freshness of new life and the delicate beauty of dew drops, ultimately connecting the sun's radiance to the kindness of its creator. The choir is urged to dedicate a pure heart to this benevolent force. This is a joyful and uplifting composition, fitting for a choir seeking to explore romantic-era German secular choral music.
