by August Cristian Fridrich Karow (1847 - 1898)

Wir haben uns gefunden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wir haben uns gefunden, 
Und liebend halt' ich dich; 
Ob abwärts fliehn die Stunden, 
Wir bleiben fest verbunden, 
Recht treu gesinnt und brüderlich. 

Uns kräftig beide mühend, 
Verachtend leeren Spott, 
In gleicher Flamme glühend, 
Die Herzen frisch und blühend, 
Erheben wir den alten Gott.  

Den alten Gott der Treue, 
Den alten Gott der Huld, 
Wir nahen ihm in Reue, 
In frommer Demuth Scheue, 
Und gern vergibt er jede Schuld. 

Wo zwei verbrüdert weilen, 
Weht auch der Hauch des Herrn; 
Laß Wohl und Weh uns theilen, 
Wenn himmelan wir eilen, 
Winkt gastlich uns der gleiche Stern.
