Wer bist Du, süßes Licht,
das mich erfüllt
und meines Herzens Dunkelheit
erleuchtet?
Du leitest mich gleich einer
Mutter Hand,
und ließest Du mich los,
so wüßte keinen Schritt
ich mehr zu gehen.

Du bist der Raum,
der rund mein Sein umschließt
und in sich birgt.
Aus Dir entlassen, sänk es in den
Abgrund des Nichts,
aus dem Du es zum Sein erhobst.

Du, näher mir als ich mir selbst,
und innerlicher als mein Innerstes
und doch ungreifbar und unfassbar
und jeden Namen sprengend:
Heilger Geist - Ewige Liebe
