Gud Fader i Himlen, hvor er Du dog god!

Hans Christian Andersen 1805 (Odense) – 1875 (Copenhagen)



Gud Fader i Himlen, hvor er Du dog god!
Jeg føler dit Aandedrag gjennem mit Blod.
Du løfter, Du leder, beskjermer og glæder,
Dit Smiil er selv i de Taarer, jeg græder.
Hvor Verden er deilig, og Mennesket med!
Ja, Ordet, som skabte, er Kjærlighed!
Jeg lever, jeg jubler, min Fryd er saa stor,
At jeg i Dig paa en Evighed troer;
Og var selv mit Liv kun den flygtende Stund,
Det var dog et Kys af din Fadermund.
