by Christoph von Schmid (1768 - 1854)

Dankt dem Herrn für alle Leiden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dankt dem Herrn für alle Leiden, 
Dankt auch für den herbsten Schmerz, 
Leiden führen uns zu Freuden, 
Schmerz veredelt unser Herz. 

An des Sommers schwülem Hauche 
Reift die goldne Traube nur, 
Nur am rauhen Dornenstrauche 
Blüht' die schönste Blum' der Flur.  

Nur in finstern Nächten strahlet 
Herrlich schön der Sterne Pracht; 
Und der Regenbogen mahlet  
Sich nur in der Wolken Nacht. 

O so nehmet denn die Leiden 
Dankbar an aus Gottes Hand; 
Sie sind Bothen naher Freuden, 
Sind des Glückes sich'res Pfand.
