O Seele, säume nicht

Representative Text

1 O Seele, säume nicht!
Dein Heiland rufet dir:
Komm her zu mir, ich bin das Licht,
Ich leucht dir für und für.

2 O Seele, säume nicht!
O komm mit Leid und Reu!
Nimm Jesus dein'n Erlöser an
Und diene Ihm getreu.

3 O Seele, säume nicht!
Verlass die Sünde doch;
Verleugne Welt und auch dich selbst,
Und folge Jesus nach!
