by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

O theures Gotteswort
Language: German (Deutsch) 
O theures Gotteswort, der Weisheit Himmelsquelle!
Je mehr ich schöpfe fort, je klarer fließt die [Welle]1;
Je mehr ich schöpfe fort, je mehr schenkst du der Wonnen!
O theures Gotteswort, O lichter Freudenbronnen!

O theures Gotteswort, du frische Lebensquelle!
Je mehr ich schöpfe fort, machst du mich heil zur Stelle;
Und schöpf' ich ewig fort, nie ist der Born verronnen!
O theures Gotteswort, O tiefer Wunderbronnen!
