Lord, eternal God
I come before your altar today, a supplicant
To pray for the soul of my beloved
Which death, so cruel, has snatched from me
I know that your power is infinite
That you are the same with poor and rich
And that is why in you I seek comfort
For this heart that is withered
If I am asleep I dream of her
If I am awake I brood over her
And wherever I may go
Her memory goes with me
Weeping I pass the nights
I pass the nights weeping
For me the sun no longer shines
Among shadows I go wandering
Lord, eternal God
Before your altar I am here on bended knees
She passed away and I want to die
Pardon us Lord and pray for us
Weeping I pass the nights
I pass the nights weeping
For me the sun no longer shines
Among shadows I go wandering
Lord, eternal God
Before your altar I am here on bended knees
She passed away and I want to die
Pardon us Lord and pray for us
