by Johannes Scheffler (1624 - 1677)

Thron der Liebe, Stern der Güte
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Thron der Liebe, Stern der Güte,
Quell der höchsten Seligkeit,
Ew'ger Gottheit stille Hüte,
Tempel der Dreifaltigkeit!

Heiland's Herze sei gegrüßt
Und mit wahrer Lieb'geküßt!

Himmelskleinod, heilig Herze,
Paradies du meiner Brust!
Ruh' im Sturm, Trost im Schmerz,
Meiner Seele höchste Lust!

Treues Herze, laß mich ein,
Soll ich nicht vergehn in Pein.

Laß mich ein, mit einem Worte,
Laß mich ein, nach Leid und QUal,
Laß mich ein, du offne Pforte,
Laß mich ein, du stilles Tal!

Aus des Weltlaufs wilder Flut
Rette mich in deine Hut!

Geuß die Flamme deiner Liebe
Wie ein großer Strom in mich;
Läutre meine Triebe,
Dich zu lieben ewiglich!
