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! | |
