Der du, Herr Jesu, Ruh und Rast
G. Werner, 1638
|
Lord Jesus, who, our souls to save,
Didst rest and slumber in the grave,
Now grnt us all in Thee to rest,
And here to live as seems Thee best.
|
|
Give us the strength, the dauntless faith,
That Thou hast purchased with Thy death,
And lead us to that glorious place
Where we shall see the Father's face.
|
|
O Lamb of God! who once wast slain,
We thank Thee for that bitter pain!
Let us partake Thy death, that we
May enter into life with Thee!
