Another crusading song, which was very widely
used on pilgrimages in these days, was sung to a
melody which has been preserved to the present
43
time, by its connexion with one of Luther's hymns;77That
on the Ten Commandments.
it is this:--
PILGRIM'S SONG.
In Gotes namen faren wir
|
Now in the name of God we go,
His grace be round us evermo;
God's strength be with us every hour
And fill us with His mighty power.
Kyrie eleison.
|
|
And may the Holy Cross be still
Our shield from every ghostly ill,
The Cross where Christ endured such woe;
O thence shall all our gladness flow!
Kyrie eleison.
|
|
And also from the Holy Tomb,
Where He Himself lay wrapped in gloom,
With the five wounds He deigned to bear;
Rejoicing, let us onward fare
Toward thee, Jerusalem.
|
|
Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison!
O help us now, Thou Holy Ghost,
O Thou most blessed Voice of God,
To tread with joy the toilsome road
Toward thee, Jerusalem!
