by Friedrich Leopold, Graf zu Stolberg-Stolberg (1750 - 1819)

Buß‑Lied
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FIN
Herr, zu deines Kreuzes Fuße	
leg' ich flehend meine Schuld;
wollst auf meiner Zähren Buße
schaun Vergebubg, schaun Geduld!
Stärke meiner Ohnmacht Willen,
der nicht ohne dich vermag,
seinen Vorsatz zu erfüllen,
den er ach! so oft schon brach.

Tief, o tief bin ich gesunken,
der ich, wähnend noch zu stehn,
durft aus Dünkels Bechern trunken,
stoltz hinab auf Bess're sehn!
Guter Hirte, komm, erbarme
mein dich, zeuch mich aus dem Schlamm;
daß an deiner Brust erwarme
wieder dein verirrtes Lamm.
