by Louise Antoinette Eleonore Konstanze Agnes Franzky (1794 - 1843)

Abendgebet
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Meinen Heiland im Herzen,
Da schlaf' ich so süß,
Da träum' ich so selig
Vom Paradies.

Meinen Heiland im Auge,
Da schreckt mich kein Feind,
Er bleibet dem betenden
Kinde vereint.

Meinen Heiland im Sinne,
Bleibt böses mir fern,
Die Sünde entweichet
Vor Gott, meinem Herrn!

Drum will ich ihn halten
Fest, fest und getreu,
Mein Vater im Himmel,
O stehe mir bei!
