Text:Herr, lenke unsern Sinn empor
Author:Adolf Helling, 1861-1953
Tune:[Herr, lenke unsern Sinn empor]
Composer:Johann Heinrich Egli

145. Herr, lenke unsern Sinn empor

1 Herr, lenke unsern Sinn empor
Und öffne gnädig jedes Ohr,
Führ' durch den Geist ins Wort uns ein
Und laß es unsre Speise sein!

2 Daß jedes Herz gesammelt sei,
Mach' uns von Sorg' und Unruh' frei,
Bewege Du des Herzens Grund
Und tu' uns Deine Gnade kund!

3 An Lebenswassern, still und rein,
Laß alle uns gelagert sein,
Gib selbst das gute, rechte Wort,
Du Leibes-Heiland, Hirt und Hort!
