Composer:Carl Sjögren

S8. Herre, jag beder

1 Herre, jag beder,
Fattig och hjälplös i mig:
Se till mig neder,
Öppna mitt hjärta för dig!

2 Råd du därinne,
Låt mig se ljus i ditt ljus!
Aldrig mitt sinne
Mättas af stoft eller grus.

e Sänd från det h¨ga
Anden, som utgår af dig,
Och med ditt öga
Led mig på sanningens stig!

4 Våren försvinner
Hastigt, likt dage i går.
Säll den, som finner
Lifvet i ungdomens vår!
