423. Herr, der Du selbst das Leben

1 Herr, der Du selbst das Leben,
der Weg, die Wahrheit bist,
Du wollst den Kindern geben
Dein Heil, Herr Jesus Christ.
Ach präge jedem Kinde
Dein Wort recht tief ins Herz,
daß es, bewahrt vor Sünde,
Dir leb in Freud und Schmerz.

2 Schreib Du ins Buch des Leben,
einst ihre Namen ein,
und laß sie nicht vergebens
Dir anbefohlen sein!
Herr, der Du selbst das Leben,
der Weg, die Wahrheit bist,
noch vielen wollst Du geben
Dein Heil, Herr Jesus Christ.
