by Julius Mosen (1803 - 1867)

Herr und Retter
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Herr und Retter
In dem Wetter,
In der wilden Völkerschlacht!
Zu dir tret' ich,
Zu dir bet' ich!
Rett' uns, Herr, mit deiner Macht!

Laß' uns knieen,
Zu dir fliehen,
Beten, Herr, mit Herz und Hand:
Nicht vergehen,
Laß' bestehen
Unser deutsches Vaterland!

Dich zu preisen,
Laß' zerreißen
Schmach und Strick und Feindes Tück't
Führ' hienieden
Deinen Frieden
Deutschem Land und Volk zurück!

Gieb uns Stärke
Zu dem Werke
Unsrer Freiheit, deines Ruhms!
Laß' in Freuden
Uns erstreiten
Selbst den Kranz des Martyrthums!

Nicht in Banden,
Nicht in Schanden,
Nicht dem Feind zu Spott und Hohn!
Lieber sende
Gnädig Ende,
O barmherz'ger Gottessohn!
