O Gott! Wie war mein Herz so blind
Language: German (Deutsch)
O Gott! Wie war mein Herz so blind, Daß ich mich zagend so vergrämt! Ich, eines ew'gen Vaters Kind! -- Des Waldes Wort hat mich beschämt. Ja, Gott, du bist mein Vater treu! Ich geb' als Kind mich treu dir hin; Und ob ich wein', ob ich mich freu', Stets ich in deinen Händen bin.
