Helios
Jazzchor Freiburg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you bring the morning and the light,
you bring the comfort and hope that
another day will come,
another spring, another cycle
of many seasons.
Oh, maker of the miracle of life
you are the father of the trees,
right until your red light will dive into the seas.
Rising with your light,
you are the dancer in the sky,
you let the birds fly and sing,
and conquering the night
you‘re painting everything so colourful
and illuminate the whole world with your brightness.
Take away our blindness.
Fill our hearts with gladness.
We adore your greatness.
From the East to the West, no rest.
Everywhere we go
we will be following your course,
we are your children, remembering
that everything we know,
we know because you give direction,
you regulate us and all that is
breathing with your walk
you are the power and the source,
you sustain us.
May you be merciful on us
for we’re yours.
Never ending sun
you have been opening our eyes
to all beauty.
Even when the lucky times are gone
you’ll shine on constantly and bright
just as if it made no difference at all.
Radiant and warm
you bring the morning and the light,
you bring comfort,
knowing through you we are all one,
forever will your light return
the sparkle in our eyes,
never ending sun...
