Wenn ich immer dein gedächte, 
All' mein Sinnen vor dich brächte,
Dich, o Herr! um Alles fragte, 
Und dir kindlich alles sagte:
O dann könnt' ich ohne Grauen
Fröhlich vor- und rückwärts schauen.

 ... 
Und flög' ich schneller als das Licht 
Weit über alle Meere;
Mich fände doch dein Angesicht,
So fern ich immer wäre.
Und stieg' ich in den tiefsten Ort, 
Den nie em Maaß ergründet, 
Du bist es, der mich hier und dort
Und allenthalben findet.
