Bis hieher hat mich Gott gebracht

Representative Text

1 Bis hieher hat mich Gott gebracht,
durch seine große Güte:
bis hieher hat er Tag und Nacht
bewahrt Herz und Gemüthe.
Bis hieher hat er mich geleit't,
bis hieher hat er mich erfreut,
bis hieher mir geholfen.

2 Hab Lob und Ehre, Preis und Dank
für die bisher'ge Treue,
die du, o Gott, mir lebenslang
bewiesen, täglich neue:
in mein Gedächtniß schreib ich an:
Der Herr hat große Ding gethan
an mir und mir geholfen.

3 Hilf ferner auch, mein treuer Hort,
hilf mir zu allen Stunden.
Hilf mir an all und jedem Ort,
hilf mir durch Jesu Wunden;
hilf mir im Leben, Tod und Noth,
durch Christi Schmerzen, Blut und Tod,
hilf mir, wie du geholfen.
