Treue Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Treue Liebe, treue Liebe 
Ist das Süßeste der Welt, 
Treue Liebe, treue Liebe 
Bleibet, wenn der Himmel fällt! 
  Ausgesungen wird es nimmer 
Auf dem weiten Erdenrund, 
Wie so selig doch für immer 
Machet treuer Liebe Bund! 

  Wenn sie bricht so klar und helle
Aus der Liebsten Aug hervor, 
Offen stehet dir zur Stelle 
Weit des Himmels goldnes Thor!
  Wenn sie raunt so herzbezwingend 
Aus der Liebsten Mund dir zu, 
Auch im Winter ziehet klingend 
Ein der schönste Lenz im Nu!

  Drum beglücket, wem's an Liebe, 
Nur an Liebe nie gebricht, 
Wer, ob Nichts auch sonst ihm bliebe, 
Bis zum letzten Hauche spricht: 
  Treue Liebe, treue Liebe 
Ist das Süßeste der Welt, 
Treue Liebe, treue Liebe 
Bleibet, wenn der Himmel fällt!
