4. Du bist die Ruh [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch)

Du bist die Ruh,
Der Friede mild,
Die Sehnsucht du,
Und was sie stillt.

Ich weihe dir
[Voll]¹ Lust und Schmerz
Zur Wohnung [hier]²
Mein Aug' und Herz.

Kehr' [ein bei mir]³,
Und schließe du
Still hinter dir
Die [Pforten]⁴ zu.

Treib andern Schmerz
Aus dieser Brust.
Voll sey dies Herz
[Von]⁵ deiner Lust.

Dies Augenzelt
Von deinem Glanz
Allein erhellt,
O füll' es ganz.
