by Eugenie von Monsterberg (1836 - 1903)

Der Herr ist Meister
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Der Herr ist Meister!
Herz, halte still!
Er führt die Geister,
wohin er will.

Nur er kann stillen
des Herzens Not
und lehrt erfüllen
dich sein Gebot.

Er wischt die Tränen
vom Auge dir
und weist dein Sehnen
zur Himmelstür.

Das eig'ne Streben,
es fördert nicht;
nur er kann geben,
was dir gebricht.

Der Sünde Ketten
bricht er entzwei,
um dich zu retten,
macht er dich frei.

Der Herr ist Meister!
Herz, halte still!
Er führt die Geister,
wohin er will.
