by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Durch alles Dunkel, alles Graun
 (Sung text for setting by G. Flügel)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Durch alles Dunkel, alles Graun
Dir, Herr, will ich in's Auge schaun,
Und tiefer blicken nur hinein, 
Je bänger muß mein Leiden sein. 

O Auge, das da selbst gethränt!
Du weißt, wonach sich meines sehnt; 
Du siehst in's Herz, du siehst das Schwert, 
Das mitten durch die Seele fährt.

Nur einen Glaubensblick hinan: 
Zum Himmelspfad wird meine Bahn! 
Nur einen Gnadenblick herab: 
Besiegt, verklärt sind Tod und Grab!
