Text:O Heil'ger Geist! ewiger Gott
Author:Barthold Helder

183. O Heil'ger Geist! ewiger Gott

1 O Heil'ger Geist! ewiger Gott,
Du höchster Tröster in der Noth
von Herzens-Grund ich ruf Dich an,
woll'st meine Bitt' nicht fehlen lahn.

2 Ach! sei mein Trost und Zuversicht,
laß mich in Sünd' verzagen nicht,
wend' ab von mir des Feindes List,
erhalt' mich fest an Jesum Christ.

3 Daß ich demselben allezeit
treulich zu dienen sei bereit,
und Ihn in wahrem Glauben rein
erkenne für den Heiland mein.

4 Leit' mich auf rechter ebner Bahn,
christlich mein Leb'n zu stellen an,
daß ich nach dieser Sterblichkeit
erlangen mög' die ew'ge Freud.
