Engel, so licht und schön, winken aus selgen Höhn. … 4 Ist dann die Nacht vorbei, leuchtet die Sonn, weih ich mich dir aufs Neu vor deinem Thron, baue mein Bethel dir und jauchz mit Freuden hier: … 5 Ist mir auch ganz verhüllt dein Weg allhier, wird nur mein Wunsch erfüllt: näher zu dir! Schließt dann mein Pilgerlauf, schwing ich mich freudig auf, … Scripture: Genesis 28:10-22 Used With Tune: BETHANY
