Ich bin ja nur das kleinste Teil der Welt

Soloists:

S

Instruments:

Text:

Ich bin ja nur das kleinste Teil der Welt,
Und da des Blutes edler Saft
Unendlich große Kraft
Bewährt erhält,
Dass jeder Tropfen, so auch noch so klein,
Die ganze Welt kann rein
Von Sünden machen,
So lass dein Blut
Ja nicht an mir verderben,
Es komme mir zugut,
Dass ich den Himmel kann ererben.
