English Versions:
1. Lord, Thou my heart dost search and try.
J. Kelly, 1867, p. 138. &
In his last stanza Kelly has nearly equalled the original in happily choosing for many of the words the exact English cognate:
Erforsch, Herr, all mein Herz und Mut Sieh, ob mein Weg sei recht und gut, Und führe mich bald himmelan Den ewgen Weg, die Freudenbahn. | Lord, search and know my heart and mood, See if my way be right and good, The everlasting joyful road Lead me that brings me home to God. |
