by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Nun, Herr, wess' sollt ich mich getrösten
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Nun, Herr, weß [soll]1 ich mich getrösten? 
Getreuer Gott!  Ich hoff' auf dich! 
Noch nie hast du verlassen mich, 
Weß sollt' ich froher mich getrösten? 
[Als]2 meines Herzens Noth am grössten, 
Mir jeder andre Trost entwich: 
Nur du, nur du kamst, mich zu trösten, 
So hoff' ich [fortan nur]3 auf dich!
