by Johann Philipp Neumann (1774 - 1849)

Du gabst, o Herr, mir Seyn und Leben
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FIN FRE
Du gabst, o Herr, mir Seyn und Leben,
Und Deiner Lehre himmlisch Licht;
Was kann dafür, ich Staub, Dir geben?
Nur danken kann ich, mehr doch nicht.

Wohl mir! Du willst für Deine Liebe
Ja nichts, als wieder Lieb' allein;
Und Liebe, dankerfüllte Liebe
Soll meines Lebens Wonne seyn.

Mich selbst, o Herr, mein Thun und Denken
Und Leid und Freude opfr' ich Dir;
Herr, nimm durch Deines Sohnes Opfer
Dieß Herzensopfer auch von mir! -
