by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Liebe, o Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
  Liebe, o Liebe, himmlisches Licht,
Ach, o verlösch' uns, Freundliche, nicht!
Alles verklär' uns, Freude wie Noth,
Leucht' uns durch's Leben bis in den Tod!

  Liebe, o Liebe, du mußt bestehn,
Größte der Gaben, kannst nicht vergehn!
Ewige Sonne, himmlisches Licht,
Bleib' uns, verlösch' uns, Freundliche, nicht!

Confirmed with Liederbuch von Friedrich Oser, 1842-1874. Mit einem biographischen Verzeichnis der Componisten, Basel: Benno Schwabe, Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1875, pages 227-228.
