Dir...
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Dir o Gott! weih' ich meinen Sinn, In stiller Demuth bete ich Dich an. Flehend schwebt mein Wort zu Dir hin, Mit Zagen, dass ich nicht bezwingen kann-- Vater hörst Du mich?! Dir, o Lieb'! weih ich Lied und Herz! Geheimnisvoll, wie Gottes Himmel Du! Ob Dir meine Andacht, Furcht und Schmerz! Fragend, mit banger Lust ruf' ich Dir zu: Mädchen liebst Du mich?!
