Even if Schumann falls back on the hymnbook when choosing the text of his 'Adventlied' (Advent Song), the composition was probably politically motivated and, still under the impressions of the revolutionary years of 1848/49, owed to the longing for peace. The 'Adventlied' (Advent Song), like the 'Neujahrslied' (New Year's Song), is 'a strange mixed genre between sociable, covertly political and religious chant'.

The work sets four brief texts taken from Chuang Tzu, a classical collection of Taoist writings from the 4th, 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE.
