The souls that cling to Thee!

Ach, Mein Herr Jesu, Wenn Ich Dich Nicht Hätte
Author: Christian Gregor, 1723-1801 Meter: 11.10.11.6 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ach, mein Herr Jesu, wenn ich dich nicht hätte
Und wenn dein Blut nicht für die Sünder redte,
Wo sollt ich Ärmster unter den Elenden
Mich sonst hinwenden?
2 Ich wüsste nicht, wo ich vor Jammer bliebe;
Denn wo ist solch ein Herz wie deins voll Liebe?
Du, du bist meine Zuversicht alleine;
Sonst weiß ich keine.
3 Hättst du dich nicht zuerst an mich gehangen,
Ich wär von selbst dich wohl nicht suchen gangen;
Du suchtest mich und nahmst mich mit Erbarmen
In deine Arme.
4 Nun dank ich dir vom Grunde meiner Seelen,
Dass du nach deinem ewigen Erwählen
Auch mich zu deiner Kreuzgemeine brachtest
Und selig machtest.
