Der Engel der Geduld
 (Sung text for setting by B. Randhartinger)
 See base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Es zieht ein stiller Engel
Durch dieses Erdenland,
Zum Trost für Erdenmängel
Hat ihn der Herr gesandt.
In seinem Blick ist Frieden
Und milde, sanfte Huld,
O folg' ihm stets hienieden,
Dem Engel der Geduld!

 ... 

Er macht zu linder Wehmuth
Den herbsten Seelenschmerz,
Und taucht in stille Demuth
Das ungestüme Herz.
Er macht die finstre Stunde
Allmählich wieder hell,
Er heilet jede Wunde
Gewiß, wenn auch nicht schnell.

Composition:

    Set to music by Benedikt Randhartinger (1802 - 1893), "Der Engel der Geduld", stanzas 1,3
