Unknown to me while here I stay,
Earth’s vain delights, away! away!
For now the joys of heaven above
Alone have power my heart to move.
Then bid, thou Good Supreme, depart
Whate’er from Thee withdraws my heart;
In Thee, my God, and only Thee
Henceforth my every joy shall be.
[LIED AN DEM TREUEN HIRTE.]
Ich bin ein verirrt und verloren Schaf:
Suche, Herr, deinen Knecht.
