Brunn alles Heils, dich ehren wir
Tersteegen, 1731
| Thou, Fount of blessing, we adore! Lo! we unlock our lips once more Before Thy deep of holiness, Oh deign to hear us now and bless. | | The Lord, the Maker, with us dwell, In soul and body shield us well, And guard us with His sleepless might From every ill by day and night! | | The Lord, the Saviour, Light Divine, Now cause His face on us to shine, That seeing Him, with perfect faith We sruft His love for life and death! | | The Lord, the Comforter, be near, Imprint His image deeply here, From bonds of sin and dread release, And give us His unchanging peace! | | O Triune God! Thou vast abyss! Thou ever-flowing Fount of bliss, Flow through us, heart and soul and will With endless praise and blessing fill! | |
