Wer Gott vertraut, hat wohl gebaut

Representative Text

1 Wer Gott vertraut, hat wohlgebaut
im Himmel und auf Erden;
wer sich verläßt auf Jesum Christ,
dem muß der Himmel werden.
Darum auf dich all Hoffnung ich
gar fest und steif tu setzen.
Herr Jesu Christ, mein Trost du bist
in Todes Not und Schmerzen.

2 Und wenns gleich wär dem Teufel sehr
und aller Welt zuwider,
dennoch bist du es, Jesu Christ,
der sie all schlägt darnieder.
Und wenn ich dich nur hab um mich
mit deinem Geist und Gnaden,
so kann fürwahr mir ganz und gar
nicht Tod noch Teufel schaden.

3 Dein tröst ich mich ganz sicherlich,
denn du kannst mirs wohl geben,
was mir ist not, du treuer Gott,
für dies und jenes Leben.
Gib wahre Reu, mein Herz erneu,
errette Leib und Seele.
Ach höre, Herr, dies mein Begehr
und laß mein Bitt nicht fehlen!
