by (Hartwig Karl) Friedrich Eggers (1819 - 1872)

Zuversicht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mag kommen, was da will,
Ich halt' geduldig still;
Laß werden, was da wird,
Ich bin deß nicht beirrt;
Und das ist nur ein Leiden,
Daß sie von Dir mich scheiden.

Die Welt hat nichts für mich,
Was schön wär' ohne Dich.
Gott hat es so gewollt:
Mein Herz Du tragen sollt,
Mein Herz hat nichts zu fragen,
Seit Du es hast getragen.
