Bereite Dich, Zion
Fresh snow on the fields and all along the track frost flowers blooming. In the distance a single light flickers and dies Overhead the stars like golden fireflies are winking in the forest of the night. I have put on my corals and rubies I have put on my robe of purest light I have sewed my heart to the sleeve of my garment Ich bin bereit.
