Liebe, du ans Kreuz für uns erhöhte

Liebe, du ans Kreuz für uns erhöhte

Author: Carl Bernhard Garve (1825)
Tune: O WIE SELIG SEID IHR DOCH
Published in 3 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Liebe, du ans Kreuz für uns erhöhte,
Liebe, die für ihre Mörder flehte,
durch deine Flammen
schmelz in Liebe Herz und Herz zusammen.

2 Du Versöhner, mach auch uns versöhnlich.
Dulder, mach uns dir im Dulden ähnlich,

3 Du Erbarmer, lehr auch uns Erbarmen.
Lehr uns milde sein, du Freund der Armen.
O lehr uns eilen,
liebevoll der Nächsten Not zu teilen.

4 Lehr uns auch der Feinde Bestes suchen;
lehr uns segnen, die uns schmähn und fluchen,
mit deiner Milde.
O gestalt uns dir zum Ebenbilde.
