Representative Text

1 Gott Lob! der Sonntag kommt herbei;
die Woche wird nun wieder neu.
Heut hat mein Gott das Licht gemacht,
mein Heil hat mir das Leben bracht.
Hallelujah!

2 Dies ist der Tog, da Jesus Christ
vom Tod für mich erstanden ist
und schenkt mir die Gerechtigkeit,
Trost, Leben, Heil und Seligkeit.
Hallelujah!

3 Das ist der rechte Sonnentag,
da man sich nicht g'nug freuen mag;
da wir mit Gott versöhnet sind,
daß nun ein Christ heißt Gottes Kind.
Hallelujah!

4 Mein Gott, laß mir dein Lebenswort;
führ mich zur Himmels-Ehrenpfort:
laß mich hier leben heiliglich
und dir lobsingen ewiglich.
Hallelujah!
