Du bist treu

[@MarkJohn-wu3bs]

In summer and in winter, too, God works His Will, The seasons, as they come and go, His words fulfil. In summer time the sun shines bright, the light is clear, All nature speaks of God the Lord, Whom men should fear. But many God on high forget, earth's pleasures seek, While often of our God above they lightly speak. In summer and in winter, too, God seeth all; But sinners are so blind and dead, both great and small, That, even when all nature speaks of God on high, The Holy Scriptures, firmly fixed, some dare deny: Though things in earth and heaven above declare God's might, Both young and old their own way love - and hate the right. In summer and in winter, too, God's truth is sure, Though all of earth will soon decay, God's words endure. The summer comes, but soon 'tis gone, like all of earth - Its gold and silver, precious stones, have little worth. Our life is but a vapour here, for soon 'tis o'er, But all God's blessings, through His Son, last evermore. In summer and in winter, too, God's works are seen, The summer time speaks, too, of life - the trees are green; But in the winter they look dead, all nature's changed, Yet God, in wondrous love and grace, hath all arranged. The lessons we should learn from this are in God's Book, Which, though so wondrous, all God-breathed, most overlook. In summer and in winter, too, sin doth abound; Yet in God's mercy, every year the earth is crowned. The food we eat all comes from Him, Whom men now hate, So merciful is God the Lord, though wondrous great. He makes His sun to shine on all, saved and unjust; But those who have eternal life in Him now trust. In summer and in winter, too, God works His plan, The seasons, as they come, and go, show love to man; Yet many, young and old, delight in their own way, The Holy Scriptures they reject, and disobey. Are You in nature's darkness still - or saved by grace ? If born from heav'n, through all the year God's mercy trace. *** The Lord bless thee, and keep thee, The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be merciful unto thee, The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. - 1599 Geneva Bible ** Herzliche Grüße helmut e.

Kann mir nicht helfen, jedoch finde ich es schade, dass man den Text nicht versteht. Außer Refrain. Gitarre überklingt die schönen Stimmen Früher: Gott wird dich tragen Verständnis Text 1 A
