Gott mit uns

Representative Text

1 Brüder, seht die Bundesfahne
Durch die Lüfte wehn!
Neubelebt sollt ihr die Rechte
Gottes siegen sehn!

Refrain:
"Gott mit uns!"
Sei unsre Losung.
Vorwärts, Gloria!
Seht, uns winkt die
Lebenskrone!
Mut! Halleluja!

2 Seht, des Satans mächt’ge Heere

Manche sehn wir um uns fallen:
Drum seid kampfbereit! [Refrain]

3 Blickt auf Jesu Kreuzesbanner,
Hört auf Sein Signal,
Dass ihr bald in Seinem Namen
Sieget überall! [Refrain]

4 "Seid getreu!" ruft unser Jesus,
Denn ich komme bald!
"Nimm uns, Herr, Dir ganz zu eigen!"
Sagen jung und alt. [Refrain]
