242. Herr, nun selbst den Wagen halt

Herr, nun selbst den Wagen halt!
Bald abseit geht sonst die Fahrt;
das brächt Freud dem Widerpart,
der dich veracht so freventlich.

Gott, erhöh deins Namens Ehr;
wehr und straf der Bösen Grimm;
weck die Schaf mit deiner Stimm,
die dich lieb haben inniglich.

Hilf, daß alle Bitterkeit
scheid, o Herr, und alte Treu
wiederkehr und werde neu,
daß wir ewig lobsingen dir.
