Preghiera di Fra Girolamo Savonarola
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Tutto sei, dolce Iddio, Signore eterno! Lume, conforto, e vita del mio core! Quanto più ti ascolto, allor discerno Che l'allegrezza è senza te dolore. Se tu non fossi il ciel sarebbe inferno; Chè chi non vive teco sempre muore. Tu sei quel vero, sommo ben perfetto Senza il qual torna in pianto ogni diletto. Tutto sei, dolce Iddio, Signore eterno!

Du bist mein Alles, mein Erlöser, Herr...
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
Du bist mein Alles, mein Erlöser, Herr meines Lebens! Du bist die Leuchte, bist Tröstung meinem Herzen! Außer Deinen Worten, außer Deiner Nähe lockt mich vergebens Die Freude, alles wird ohne Dich zu Schmerzen. Himmel und Erde müsst' ohn' Dich verderben; Ohne Dich leben, hieße ewig sterben. Du bist allein das wahre Gut hienieden, Ohne Dein Dasein blüht mir kein Glück, kein Segen, noch Frieden. Du bist Alles, mein Erlöser, o Herr meines Lebens!
