by Eduard Kittel (1833 - 1900)

Erhebung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Chosen for Diff
Herrlich, Herr!  sind Deine Werke, 
Ohne Grenzen Deine Macht! 
Mit erhab'ner Schöpferstärke, 
Schufst Du Licht aus tiefer Nacht! 

Hast der Erde Last geründet, 
Und gewölbt des Himmels Blau; 
Hast die Thäler tief gegründet, 
Und gethürmt der Berge Bau. 

Und in unbegrenzter Liebe 
Schufst den Menschen Du hinein: 
Dass er mit des Himmels Triebe 
Mög' dein Bild und Liebling sein.
