Text:Christe, du beistand deiner kreuzgemeine
Author:Math. Appelles V. Löwenstern

167. Christe, du beistand deiner kreuzgemeine

1. Christe, du beistand deiner kreuzgemeine!
Eilends mit hülf' und rettung uns erscheine,
Steure dein feinden, ihre blutgerichte
Mache zu nichts.

2. Streite doch selber für dein' arme kinder,
Wehre dem teufel, seine macht verhinder';
Alles was kämpfet wider deine glieder,
Stürze darnieder.

3. Friede bei kirch' und schulen uns beschere,
Friede zugleich der polizei gewähre,
Friede dem herzen, friede dem gewissen,
Gib zu genießen.

4. Also wird zeitlich deine güt' erhoben,
Also wird ewig und ohn' ende loben
Dich, o du wächter deiner armen heerde!
Himmel und erde.
