Vor dir steh' ich
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Vor dir steh' ich,
Zu dir fleh' ich,
Unter Tränen bitt' ich dich:
Hab' Erbarmen
Mit mir Armen,
Gnadenmutter, rette mich!

Allzulange
Hat der Schlange
Böse Arglist mich betört;
Falsches Sinnen, 
Eitles Minnen
Ganz von Gott mich abgekehrt.

Aus dem Irren
Und den Wirren,
Mutter, weis' den rechten Weg,
Aus der Sünde
Irrgewinde 
Weis' den sichern Himmelssteg!

Auf dich bau' ich, 
Dir vertrau ich,
Leite mich mit Mutterhand:
Laß nicht wanken
Mich und schwanken,
Führe mich in's Vaterland!
