1 Dank, o Vater, Deiner Gnade,
Deiner Liebe, Deiner Macht,
Daß Du von des Sünders Pfade
Uns so nah zu Dir gebracht!
"Abba, Vater!" stammeln Kinder,
"Abba!" die erlösten Sünder.
Dein Geist zeugt mit unserm Geist,
Daß Du "Abba, Vater" heißt.

2 Fern von Dir, mit Fluch beladen,
Lagen wir in Sündennacht.
Christi Blut hat uns aus Gnaden
Deinem Herzen nah gebracht.
Du hast in dem Sohn gegeben
Uns Erlösung, ew'ges Leben.
O wir danken Dir dafür,
Abba, Vater! Preis sei Dir!
