Erweckt hat mir das Herz zu dir by Johannes Eccard — Lyrics
Erweckt hat mir das Herz zu dir,
Mein Gott, dein Wort der Gnaden,
Dass ich nun mich frei lass1 auf dich,
Wer kan mir etwas schaden?
Was soll ich mehr von Gott begehrn,
So er mein Sünd tut tragen?
Darum will ich ganz sicherlich
Auf seine Güt mich wagen.
Lieb soll mir sein der Gnaden Schein,
In Jesu Christ verborgen,
Nun acht ich nicht, was mir gebricht,
Will hinfort gar nicht sorgen,
