Mir ist so wohl in Gottes Haus
Language: German (Deutsch)
Mir ist so wohl in Gottes Haus, Ich kann es gar nicht sagen, Es bricht mein Aug' in Thränen aus, Das Herz fängt an zu schlagen. O Thräne, warum brichst du aus? O Herz, was soll dein Schlagen? Es wird der Geist in's Vaterhaus, Der Leib zur Ruh getragen.
