by (Charlotte Sophie) Therese von Niemeyer (1822 - 1903)

Kennst du das Haus, wo leiser Orgelklang
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Kennst du das Haus, wo leiser Orgelklang
Zur Hora ruft? wo sanfter Psalmensang
Der Kirche Wölbung silberhell durchdringt?
Wo sel'ge Andacht himmelan sich schwingt?
Kennst du es wohl?
          Dahin, Dahin 
Laß wandern uns, Maria, laß uns zieh'n!

Kennst du das Kreuz, von Rosenpracht umblüh't?
Hoch ragend steht's, vom Kerzen-Schein umglüh't;
Es winkt, und blickt verheißungvoll herab:
"Wer mich ergreift, hält sich am sichern Stab!"
Kennst du es wohl?
          Dahin, Dahin 
Laß pilgern uns, Maria, laß uns zieh'n!

Kennst du den Saal, wo starke Glaubenskraft
Zu Gottes Ehr' im Dienst der Kirche schafft?
Wo frommer Frauen kunstgeübte Hand
Dem Altar wirkt, der Kanzel das Gewand?
Kennst du ihn wohl?
          Dahin, Dahin 
Laß wandern uns, Maria, laß uns zieh'n!
