by Johann Friedrich Schink (1755 - 1835)

Wiedersehn
Language: German (Deutsch) 
CHORUS
Wort des Trostes, Wiedersehn, 
Lebenswort, von Lieb' erfunden, 
Balsam in der Trennung Wunden, 
Licht am Grabe, Auferstehn!  

Wenn wir bang durch's Leben gehn, 
Wenn uns Weh und Gram umnachten, 
Wenn in Sehnsucht wir verschmachten, 
Leuchtest, labst du, Wiedersehn! 
(CHORUS) 

Wenn wir trauernd einsam stehn, 
Wenn bei still verweinten Zähren
Jedes Trostes wir entbehren, 
Bleibst du, Engel, Wiedersehn! 
(CHORUS)

Wenn sie dann vorübergehn 
All' die lang verweinten Stunden, 
Stehn wir, wie dem Grab' entwunden, 
Selig durch dich, Wiedersehn! 
(CHORUS)
