Gott, Dein Ruhm sei hoch erhoben

Hymnary Friends,

Please pardon this brief interruption, and please consider a gift today to support the work of Hymnary.org. Here's why.

Each month half a million people visit this website for free access to the most complete database of North American hymnody on the planet. But this project does not come without a cost, and we have limited sources of revenue. Twice a year we hold a fund drive, and these drives are critical to our future.

So if you benefit from Hymnary.org, would you consider a donation today? Even small amounts help, and they also let us know you're behind us and support what we do.

Click the Donate button below to be taken to a secure giving site. Or you can make your tax-deductible contribution by sending a check to Hymnary.org at 3201 Burton SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49546.

On behalf of the entire Hymnary.org team, our thanks.
Harry Plantinga

Representative Text

1 Gott, Dein Ruhm sei hoch erhoben,
Deine Weisheit, Lieb' und Macht!
Nimmer kann ich g'nug Dich loben,
Daß Du so an mich gedacht.
Meine Sünden sind vergeben,
Jesus starb für meine Schuld, –
O welch göttlich große Huld!
In dem Sohn hab' ich das Leben.
Liebe, ach! wie liebst Du mich!
Lehr' mich ganz erkennen Dich.

2 Du hast mir den Geist gegeben,
Nicht steh' ich verwaiset hier,
Darf als Kind den Blick erheben,
Gott, mein Vater, stets zu Dir.
Du erhörest gern mein Flehen,
Stehst in jeder Not mir bei,
Sorgst so väterlich, so treu,
Läßt nichts Böses mir geschehen.
Liebe, ach! wie liebst Du mich!
Lehr' mich ganz erkennen Dich.
