by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Mein Mondenlicht
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Mein Mondenlicht in dunkler Nacht, 
mein Morgenrot am neuen Tage,
du meine Sonne voller Pracht,
vor der verweht jedwede Klage!

Du mein Panier und meine Zier,
wie trag' ich freudig, Herr, 
mit dir mein Kreuz 
und meine Last und Plage!

Dr Rose schön, die hold mir winkt 
auf ödem Pfad in düsterm Grunde,
du Quell, der mir entgegen blinkt 
zur Heilung für die tiefste Wunde!

Mein Fels und Hort an jedem Ort.
O Jesu, geh' mir fort und fort 
zur Seite bis zur letzten Stunde!
