by Franz Ludwig Evarist Alexander, Graf von Pocci (1807 - 1876)

Was Gott euch wohl bescheren mag
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was Gott euch wohl bescheren mag, 
Damit seid auch zufrieden, 
Und danket Ihm an jedem Tag 
Für das, was er beschieden.  

Wast ist denn alles blanke Geld 
Und Reichthum auch hinieden, 
Ist reich nicht eure inn're Welt, 
Im Herzen nicht der Frieden?!  

Daß Gott euch den bescheren mag, 
Das betet jeden Morgen, 
Was sonst noch bringen soll der Tag, 
Dafür laßt Gott nur sorgen!
