by Peter Baum (1869 - 1916)

Jesus
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dorngekrönter, lichter Menschensohn,
laß mich wieder Deine Knie umfassen.
Lange irrt' ich auf der Sünde Gassen.
Dorngekrönter, lichter Menschensohn.
Hin ist meiner Seele Krone. Hin.
Wie ein Rost zerfraß sie das Gemeine
Schauernd neige ich mich Deiner Reine.
Hin ist meiner Seele Krone. Hin.
Hebe wieder mich zu Dir empor!
Rette mich! Rette mich!
Denn in der Seele Gründen
recken hoch sich meine schwarzen Sünden.
Hebe wieder mich zu Dir empor!
