by Maurice Reinhold von Stern (1860 - 1938)

Nachtgebet
Language: German (Deutsch) 
In Donnern und Blitzen 
Auf Bergesspitzen  
Ist der Herr.

Im Sonnenbrüten, 
In schauernden Blüthen, 
Im Sturmeswüthen 
Ist der Herr. 

In Wolken wohnt er, 
Im Frühroth thront er, 
Im Regen rauscht seine Gnade durch's Land.  

Die Erde bannt er, 
Das All umspannt er.
Du Unbekannter, 
Herr Gott, ich befehl' mich in deine Hand! 

Confirmed with Maurice Reinhold von Stern, Sonnenstaub, Leipzig: Wilhelm Friedrich, 1888, page 74.
