by Ignaz Heinrich Freiherr von Wessenberg (1774 - 1860)
Heilig sei dir jede Stelle
Language: German (Deutsch)
Heilig sei dir jede Stelle, Wo die Liebe dir genah't, Die im Himmel ihre Quelle, Ihren Thron im Herzen hat! Oft nach diesen Stellen kehre Sehnsuchtsvoll den frommen Blick! Bau' im Geiste dort Altäre! Dort nur blühte dir das Glück. Dann wird leiser Morgenschauer Lind dein Dankgebet umweh'n; Wirst am Rand des Lands der Trauer Das der Wonne dämmern seh'n.
