by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)

Denn der Ew'ge herrscht auf Erden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Denn der Ew'ge herrscht auf Erden, 
Über Meere herrscht sein Blick; 
Löwen sollen Lämmer werden, 
Und die Welle schwankt zurück. 

Blankes Schwert erstarrt im Hiebe: 
Glaub' und Hoffnung sind erfüllt; 
Wunderthätig ist die Liebe, 
Die sich im Gebet enthüllt.
