Behüt' dich Gott
 (Sung text for setting by A. Maier)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Und muss ich von dir scheiden,
Treu bleib ich dir gesinnt,
In allen Schmerz und Leiden
Behüt' dich Gott, mein Kind! 

Was Gott in dich geleget,
O daß es nie verrinnt,
Von Engeln sei's gepfleget --
Behüt' dich Gott, mein Kind!

Umspielt mit weichem Kusse
Dein Haar der Frühlingswind,
Kehr' ich mit meinem Gruße: 
Behüt' dich Gott, mein Kind!
