by Christian Wilhelm Spieker (1780 - 1858)

Ew'ge Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ew'ge Liebe, die zum Bilde
deiner Gottheit mich gemacht,
die mit mehr als Vatermilde
meiner Seligkeit gedacht,
Liebe, dir ergeb' ich mich,
dein zu bleiben ewiglich.

Liebe, die du Kraft und Leben,
Licht und Wahrheit, Geist und Wort,
Liebe, die sich ganz ergeben
mir zum Heil und Segenhort,
Liebe, dir ergeb' ich mich,
dein zu bleiben ewiglich.

Du erhörst der Sehnsucht Flehen,
bist in Ewigkeiten mein,
willst zum Vater mich erhöhen,
mich zum Himmel führen ein,
gibst zu meinem Dienste dich,
mein zu bleiben ewiglich.
