by (Theodor) Franz Johann August Hermann Engel (1834 - 1920)

Verlassen hab' ich mein Lieb
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Verlassen hab' ich mein Lieb
  Und hab geweint dazu.
Herr Gott im Himmel, oh gib
  Der armen Seele Ruh.

Es war nicht der Wille mein,
  Es hat so sein gemüßt.
Herr Gott, du weißt es allein,
  Wie mir im Herzen ist.

Die Wege zusammen gehn 
  Und gehn auseinand,
So liegt auch das Wiedersehn
  Allein in Gottes Hand.
