Du seist zu Feld oder zuhaus by Michael Altenburg — Lyrics
Du seist zu Feld oder zuhaus
oder wo du immer denkst hinaus,
Lass Gott, den Herrn, nicht aus der Acht,
Sondern allzeit sein Wort betracht.
Dein Tun und Lassn zu jeder Frist
gescheh in dem Namen JEsu Christ,
der wird dich bhüten früh und spat,
bis dass dein Lebn ein Ende hat.
