Dir...
 (Sung text for setting by J. Végh)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Dir o Gott! weih' ich meinen Sinn,
In stiller Demuth bete ich Dich an.
Flehend schwebt mein Wort zu Dir hin,
Mit Zagen, dass ich nicht bezwingen kann--
Vater hörst Du mich?!

Dir, o Lieb'! weih ich Lied und Herz!
Geheimnisvoll, wie Gottes Himmel Du!
Ob Dir meine Andacht, Furcht und Schmerz!
Fragend, mit banger Lust ruf' ich Dir zu:
Mädchen liebst Du mich?!
