Du evige Gud, saa kjærlig og god!

Hans Christian Andersen 1805 (Odense) – 1875 (Copenhagen)



Du evige Gud, saa kjærlig og god!
Send Du mig dit Lys for min usikkre Fod,
Lys ind i mit Hjerte, det vil kun det Rette!
De Skriftens Tjenere slette fast ud,
At Du er den eneste, eneste Gud;
Hvad Christus mig lærte, jeg skal ei forgjette,
Men Du kun er Herren, der er kun een Gud!
Du talte i Sønnen, Du Frelse os bragte,
I ham Du lod fødes, i ham Du lod døe.
Lys ind i mit Hjerte, derinde Du lagde
Et Sandhedens levendegjørende Frø.
Jeg kæmper, jeg svimler, dog eengang jeg havner;
O lad det gaae op for mig hvad jeg savner!
Mig Christendomslæren er Kjærlighedslæren,
I den kom Du til os! Dig Magten og Æren!
