Translations. - A Song Of Praise. (Luther's Song-Book.)

Topics: classic

Now let us pray the Holy Ghost,     Of all things, for the true faith most,     In that to preserve us when we are dying,     And going home out of this vale of crying:             Kyrioleis.     Thou noble light, shine as thou hast shone;     Teach us to know Jesus Christ alone,     That we the true Saviour hold by the hand     Who us has brought to the real fatherland:             Kyrioleis.     Thou sweet Love, grant us thy favour, that so     We feel of thy love the inward glow,     That we from our hearts may love each the other,     Dwelling in peace, of one mind together:             Kyrioleis.     Comfort highest, in danger or blame     Help us to fear neither death nor shame;     Nor let weak senses with fears confuse us     When the enemy comes to accuse us:             Kyrioleis.
