by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Treue im Kleinen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Schaut der Herr zur Erde nieder 
Prüfend auf der Menschen Thun, 
Stets auf Einem immer wieder 
Muß sein Auge freundlich ruhn.

Mag's die Welt auch nicht ermessen 
Was gewirket schimmerlos, 
Ewig bleibt ihm unvergessen 
Treue, die im Kleinen groß.

Confirmed with Liederbuch von Friedrich Oser, 1842-1874. Mit einem biographischen Verzeichnis der Componisten, Basel: Benno Schwabe, Verlagsbuchhandlung, 1875, page 307.
