by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Groß sind die Wogen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Groß sind die Wogen
Und brausen gar sehr:
   Fürchte dich nicht, fürchte dich nicht, 
   Dein Fels ist der Herr! 

Nacht aller Enden, 
Kein Sternelein mehr:
   Fürchte dich nicht, fürchte dich nicht,
   Dein Licht ist der Herr! 

Zitternd die Kniee,
Das Kreuz, ach so schwer:
   Fürchte dich nicht, fürchte dich nicht,
   Dein Stab ist der Herr!
