by Mechthild of Magdeburg (c1210 - 1285?91?)
Du bist, Herr, meine Labung
Language: German (Deutsch)
Du bist, Herr, meine Labung und ich, Herr, deine Blühung. Du bist mir, Herre, klein in deiner Untertänigkeit. Ich bin dir, Herre, groß in dem Jammer meiner Bosheit. Ich opf´re dir, Herr, alle Tage alles, was ich in mir habe; da sollst du, Herr, deine Gnade eingießen, so mag ich dann von deiner Minne überfließen.
