by Johannes Gossner (1773 - 1858)

Dem Herrn
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FIN
Herr! schauen auf uns nieder,
dir tönen unsre Lieder,
des Herzens Lust bist du!
ach dich zum Freunde haben,
ist mehr denn alle Gaben,
ist ew'ges Leben, seel'ge Ruh!

Du stillest das Verlangen,
und an dir wir hangen,
so fehlt dem Leben nichts.
In deiner Gottesklarheit
seh'n wir die ew'ge Wahrheit,
du leuchtest in uns, Quell des Lichts!

Von deinem Arm gehalten,
kann keiner der Gewalten
der Welt uns dir entziehn!
Wir ruhn an deinem Herzen,
sind dein in Freud und Schmerzen,
o möchten zu dir alle fliehn.
