by Friedrich Heinrich Oser (1820 - 1891)

Nimm mir Alles, Gott, mein Gott!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
  Nimm mir Alles, Gott, mein Gott! 
Nur nicht deinen heilgen Geist: 
Ach, da wär' ich gar verarmt,
Ach, da wär' ich gar verwaist! 

  Nimm mir Alles, was du willst, 
Glauben nur und Hoffen nicht;
Nimm mir Alles, nur verbirg 
Ganz mir nicht dein Angesicht! 

  Hab' ich dich noch, Gott, mein Gott! 
Ist ja Alles wieder mein;
Denn was ich an dich verlor, 
Kann ja nicht verloren sein.
