Original lyrics
Kein schöner Land
Kein schöner Land in dieser Zeit,
als hier das unsre weit und breit,
wo wir uns finden
wohl unter Linden
zur Abendzeit, Abendzeit.
Da haben wir so manche Stund'
gesessen wohl in froher Rund'
und taten singen;
die Lieder klingen
im Eichengrund.
Daß wir uns hier in diesem Tal
noch treffen so viel hundertmal,
Gott mag es schenken,
Gott mag es lenken,
er hat die Gnad'.
Nun, Brüder, eine gute Nacht,
der Herr im hohen Himmel wacht!
In seiner Güten
uns zu behüten
ist er bedacht.
Ihr Brüder wißt, was uns vereint,
eine andre Sonne hell uns scheint;
in ihr wir leben,
zu ihr wir streben
als die Gemeind'.

Translation
No fairer Land
There is no land, near and far,
More beautiful than ours at this time
When we gather
Neath' the tilia trees
As night falls.
There we sat many an hour
In joyful get-together
And were singing
Resounding songs
In the oak grove
May we meet again in this valley
Many hundred times.
God may gift it,
God may grant it,
He has the grace.
Now brothers, I bed ye goodnight
The Lord in the high heavens keeps watch
In his goodness
To keep us
Is his intent
Ye brothers know, what unites us
Another sun doth shine us brightly
In her we live
To her we strive
United as his church

His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all
who play stringed instruments and pipes. (Genesis 4:21)
