English Version----

In the morning at dawn, I will listen to the wind—
Perhaps I can hear You in it.
I know that in the world I know that
there is nothing like Your love.

Your voice is like a bird above the ground circling
and calling tired hearts—
and the rays are so warm in my soul—to lie down
and all beckons without end.

Sweet, sweet voice, Jesus' voice,
In the rustle of leaves, and in the strong waves of the sea,
In the story of the sun, and in the call of heaven,
He whispers about love, happiness, and peace,
and that in the midst of the storm He will cover you—
Just you listen,
And open your whole heart to Him.

In the morning at dawn I will listen to the wind—
Perhaps I can hear You in it.
I know that in the world I know that
there is nothing like Your love.

Jesus' love has power and forgiveness—
You call the wanderers to Yourself;
Patiently, at length, You wait in order to give salvation.
You are my God and You are everywhere.

In the morning at dawn I will hear You.
I will hasten in prayer to bow.
You voice is in everything here that lives and breathes;
In it is the beauty of Your love, Jesus.
Your voice is like a bird above the ground circling
and calling tired hearts—
and the rays are so warm in my soul—to lie down
and all beckons without end.
