Ach mein hertzliebes Jesulein by Michael Altenburg — Lyrics
R.: Ach mein herzliebes Jesulein,
Gotts und Marien Söhnelein.
Ich bin an welchem Ort ich bin
So steht zu Dir nur all mein Sinn,
denn du bist Gottes Lämmelein,
gibst meiner Seelen Trost allein.
R.
Wo ich komm zu deinem Dienste hin
hat jeder Christ dich nur im Sinn
denn du bist Gott und Heiland mein
machst mich von allen Sünden rein.
