Adon olam (Herr der Welt)

Representative Text

Herr der Welt, Er hat regiert
von der Zeiten Anbeginn.
Seit die Schöpfung ward vollführt,
wandelt sie nach Seinem Sinn.
Wenn das All ins Nichts vergeht,
Seine Allmacht bleibt allein.
Wie Er was in Majestät,
ist und wird Er ewig sein.

Anfang, Ende hat Er nicht,

Fels und Schutz in Prüfungszeit.
Wenn mein Mund Ihn flehend preist,
ist Er Heil mir, Stahl des Lichts.
Ihm befehl' ich Leib und Geist.
Gott mit mir, ich fürchte nichts.
