Preis sei Dir, o Lamm

Representative Text

1 Preis sei Dir, o Lamm,
Sproß aus Davids Stamm!
Unsre Schuld hast Du gesühnet,
Trugst den Fluch, den wir verdienet.
Preis sei Dir, o Lamm,
Sproß aus Davids Stamm!

2 In welch tiefer Not
Schrieest Du zu Gott:
"Warum hast Du mich verlassen?"
O wer kann Dein Weh erfassen!
In welch tiefer Not
Schrieest Du zu Gott!

3 Du, zur Sünd' gemacht,
Sankst in Todesnacht.
Du, der keine Sünde kannte,
Der sich selbst "das Leben" nannte,
Du, zur Sünd' gemacht,
Sankst in Todesnacht.

4 Nun ist Gott geehrt,
Satans Macht zerstört,
Freigemacht unzähl'ge Scharen,
Die des Todes Beute waren.
Gott in Dir geehrt,
Satans Macht zerstört.

5 O Anbetung Dir,
Preis und Dank dafür!
Über alles hoch erhoben,
Weilest, Gottes Lamm, Du droben.
O Anbetung Dir,
Preis und Dank dafür!
