Het klaverblad

Song Cycle by Antonius Wilhelmus Rijp (1867 - 1931)

3. Die mijns harte vrede zijn  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Die mijns harten vrede zijt,
En de eenig ware ruste,
Reine bron van klare lusten,
Zuivre zon van zaligheid -
Laat mij willen en niet willen,
Wat Gij wilt en niet en wilt,
Blijde gaande door het stille
Leven in Uw vreê verstild.
Buiten U is niets dan strijd,
Niets dan moeiten, niets dan zorgen -
Laat mij, in Uw rust geborgen,
Slapen gaan in eeuwigheid.
