Herr! der Du Alles wohl gemacht!
Ich will nichts, was nicht du willst schenken.
Du machst es nicht, wie wir's gedacht;
Du machst es besser, als wir's denken.
Mich geb' ich hier in deine Hand,
Daß du mich meiner Liebsten gebest.
Du hast geschlungen dieses Band,
O daß du's immer fester webest.
O ziehe nicht die Hand zurück,
Die du zum Heil mir ausgestrecket!
Du leitest mich zu meinem Glück;
Gieb, daß dazu kein Weg mich schrecket.
... Herr! der du alles wohl gemacht
