1. Wie feuriges Erz [sung text not yet checked]
by Carl Geißler (1802 - 1868), "Wie feuriges Erz", op. 120 (Haus-Andachten in Liedern von Friedrich Oser), Heft 2 no. 5, published 1859 [ voice and piano ], Leipzig: Stoll
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wie feuriges Erz Wogt im Busen der Schmerz! Nun wieder so finster drin, so kalt, Als wäre das Licht für ewig entwallt! Als wär' ich allein, Mutterseelenallein, Auf Erden der letzte Mensch, o Graus! Aus der schrecklichen Qual, wer hilft mir heraus? Mein Heiland nur da, Wie ich nimmer ihn sah! Auf! ringe mit ihm, und gieng's zum Tod, Wie ringet die Nacht mit dem Morgenroth! Mein Herr und mein Gott, O mein Herr und mein Gott! Ob Mark auch und Bein das Weh durchbrenn', Ich lasse dich nicht, du segnest mich denn!

1. Like fiery ore
Language: English
Like fiery ore, Pain surges within my bosom! Then again it grows so dark, so cold within it, As if the light had forever departed! As if I were alone, Utterly alone, The last person upon earth, oh horror! Who shall help me from out of this dreadful torment? Only my Lord [is] there, As I never saw Him before! Arise! wrestle with Him, and be it unto death, As the night wrestles with the red of dawn! My Lord and my God, Oh, my Lord and my God! Though the pain may burn to my very marrow, I shall not let go of Thee unless Thou blessest me!
