Erhebung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dein, du Himmel voller Sterne,
dein bin ich, du freier Wind!
Ach, wie atm' ich nun so gerne,
ich bin dein, ich bin dein Kind!
Meine Sorge hat ein Ende,
und ich fühle keinen Schmerz!
Weit ausbreit' ich meine Hände;
Vater, zieh mich an dein Herz!

Was das Leben ernst mich lehret,
was Natur mir hold verheißt,
das ist Abglanz deiner Güte,
ist ein Bild von deinem Geist!
Du Erhab'ner, lass mich fühlen,
dass ich deiner bin ein Teil,
leite mich zu deinen Höhen,
Schöpfer, sei mein ewig Heil!
