In Dir ist Freude In allem Leide

Representative Text

1 In dir ist Freude in allem Leide,
o du süßer Jesu Christ!
Durch dich wir haben himmlische Gaben,
du der wahre Heiland bist;
hilfest von Schanden, rettest von Banden.
Wer dir vertrauet, hat wohl gebauet,
wird ewig bleiben. Halleluja.
zu deiner Güte steht unser G'müte,
an dir wir kleben im Tod und Leben;
nichts kann uns scheiden. Halleluja.

2 Wenn wir dich haben, kann uns nicht schaden
Teufel, Welt, Sünd oder Tod;
du hast's in Händen, kannst alles wenden,
wie nur heißen mag die Not.
Drum wir dich ehren, dein Lob vermehren,
mit hellem Schalle, freuen uns alle
zu dieser Stunde. Halleluja.
Wir jubilieren und triumphieren,
lieben und loben dein Macht dort droben
mit Herz und Munde. Halleluja.
