by Gerhard Tersteegen (1697 - 1769)

Wo Gott zu finden sei
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Gott ist ein stiller Geist, der überall zugegen,
Drum, wer ihm nahen will, darf sich nicht viel bewegen;
Verlier, was bildlich ist, und brauch nicht viel Gewalt,
Kehr sanft in'n stillen Geist! Ich weiß, du findst ihn bald.
