by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Herr Gott, von deiner Wohnung schau'
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Herr Gott, von deiner Wohnung schau',
Und send' uns deiner Gnade Thau!
So Großes hast du uns gethan,
O nimm des Dankes Opfer an!
  Wir singen deiner Macht und Ehre,
Frohlockend mit des Himmels Heere!
  Herr, unsre Freude, unser Theil,
Herr, unsre Stärke, unser Heil!
  Wir danken dir mit Psalterspiel,
Und finden doch kein End' und Ziel
All deiner Güte, deiner Huld,
All deiner Langmuth und Geduld!
  Ach, zu geringe sind wir weit
Deiner Treu' und Barmherzigkeit!
