Du Unruh meiner Seelen!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du Unruh meiner Seelen!   
Wie lang wilt du mich quälen? 
Sey still und lege dich! 
Wie lang wolt ihr Gedancken 
So hin und wieder wancken 
Und seyn so gar hart wider mich?  

Herr Jesu!  thu aufwachen 
Und komm zu hülff mir Schwachen,    
Daß ich nicht gar vergeh: 
O Herr!  durch deine Güte 
In Ruh setz mein Gemüthe, 
Die Sünde, mein Gott, überseh.  

Und wann ein Sturm kommt wieder 
Der mich will schlagen nieder, 
So stehe, Herr, mir bey: 
Dem Feind laß nicht gelingen 
Wornach er stets thut ringen 
Mach mich von aller Sorgen frey.  

Nun, Herr, ich hoff und schaue,  
Auf dein Zusag ich baue,  
Du bist mein Trost allein: 
In allen meinen Nöthen, 
Auch wann du mich wilt tödten 
Will ich, mein Gott, dein eigen seyn.
