Gebet, Op. 169, No. 5 by Franz Lachner — Lyrics
Herr, Herr, den ich tief im Herzen trage, sei du mit mir,
du Gnadenhort in Glück und Plage, sei du mit mir,
im Brand des Sommers, der dem Manne die Wange bräunt,
wie in der Jugend Rosenhain, sei du mit mir,
behüte mich am Born der Freude vor Übermut,
wenn ich an mir selbst verzage, sei du mit mir.
