Tune:[Du brachst des Todes Bande]
Composer:Wilhelm Brockhaus, 1819-1888

63. Du brachst des Todes Bande

1 Du brachst des Todes Bande,
Allmächt'ger Heiland Du,
Hast uns, die ferne standen,
Gebracht zu Deiner Ruh'.

2 Dein Werk hast Du vollendet,
Du hast's für uns erfüllt,
Dein Leiden ist beendet,
Und unser Herz gestillt.

3 In Dir ist uns gegeben
Ein ewig sichres Heil,
Du selbst bist unser Leben,
Bist unser köstlich Teil.

4 Und durch den Geist geleitet,
Ist hier Dein Joch nicht schwer.
Du hast den Weg bereitet,
Gehst selber vor uns her.

5 Wer fasset Deiner Gnade,
Wer Deine Lieb' und Macht!
Auf unserm Pilgerpfade
Sei Dir stets Dank gebracht.
