Gott sei mir Sünder gnädig
 (Sung text for setting by J. Lang)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch)

 ... 

Komm nur mühselig und gebückt,
Komm' wie du weißt zu kommen!
Wenn auch die Last dich niederdrückt.
Auch Du wirst aufgenommen!
Sieh, wie sein Herz dir offen steht.
Und wie er dir entgegengeht!
Wie lang' hat er mit stillem Fleh'n
Sich liebend nach Dir umgeseh'n.
 ... 

 ... 

 ... 
Zeig mir bei meinem Seelenschmerz
Dein aufgeschlossnes Liebesherz;
 ... 
Und hilf mir, daß ich sagen kann:
Gott Lob, auch mich nimmt Jesus an.
