Ich will zu aller Stund aus meines Herzens Grund

Ich will zu aller Stund aus meines Herzens Grund

Representative Text

1 Ich will zu aller Stund,
aus meines Herzens Grund,
Gott, deine Güte preisen,
die du mir thust beweisen;
ich will mein ganzes Leben
zu deinem Lob ergeben.

2 Jesu, mein höchstes Gut,
dein Leib, dein wahres Blut
ist meines Herzens Freude,
mein Trost in allem Leide,
weil diese deine Gaben
mein Leib und Seele laben.

3 Vernunft, Witz und Verstand
wird hier zu Spott und Schand;
der Wahrheit muß man trauen,
auf Gottes Wort fest bauen.
Was Gott spricht, muß bestehen,
sollt alle Welt vergehen.

4 Hier ist das Gotteslamm,
für uns am Kreuzesstamm
aus lauter Lieb gestorben,
dadurch das Heil erworben;
hier kannst du Gnade finden.
Vergebung aller Sünden.

5 Gott Lob für seine Treu,
Die ich noch immer neu
in seinem Nachtmahl finde;
weicht, Teufel, Tod und Sünde!
Gott will mir Trost und Leben
hier und dort ewig geben.
