So nimm denn meine Haende.

Julie von Haussmann.

Tr. H. Brueckner, 1916.

Take, then, my hands, O Father,

And lead Thou me

Until my journey endeth,

Eternally.

160

Alone I will not wander

One single day.

Be Thou my true Companion

And with me stay.

O cover with Thy mercy

My poor, weak heart!

Let ev’ry thought rebellious

From me depart.

Permit Thy child to linger

Here at Thy feet

And blindly trust Thy goodness

With faith complete.

Though naught of Thy great power

May move my soul,

With Thee through night and darkness

I reach the goal.

Take, then, my hands, O Father,

And lead Thou me

Until my journey endeth,

Eternally.
