by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857)

Dein Wille, Herr, geschehe!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Dein Wille, Herr, geschehe!
Verdunkelt schweigt das Land,
Im Zug der Wetter sehe
ich schauernd deine Hand.
O mit uns Sündern gehe
erbarmend ins Gericht!
Ich beug' im tiefsten Wehe
zum Staub mein Angesicht.
Dein Wille, Herr, geschehe!
