Süße, heilige Natur,
Leite mich auf deine Spur!
Leite mich an deiner Hand,
Wie ein Kind am Gängelband!

Wenn ich dann ermüdet bin,
Rück ich dir am Busen hin,
Athme reine Himmelslust,
Ruhend an der Mutter Brust.

Ach, mir ist so wohl bey dir!
O wie wohl ist mir bei dir
Will dich lieben für und für.
Leite mich auf deine Spur,
Süsse, heilige Natur!
