In dir ist Freud
Lindemann, died 1630
In Thee is gladness Amid all sadness, Jesus, Sunshine of my heart! By Thee are given The gifts of heaven, Thou the true Redeemer art! Our souls Thou wakest, Our bonds Thou breakest, Who trusts Thee surely Hath built securely, He stands forever: Hallelujah! Our hearts are pining To see Thy shining, Dying or living To Thee are cleaving, Nought can us sever: Hallelujah! | If He is ours We fear no powers, Nor of earth, nor sin, nor death; He sees and blesses In worst distresses, He can change them with a breath! Wherefore the story tell of His glory With heart and voices; all heaven rejoices In Him for ever: Hallelujah! We shout for gladness, triumph o'er sadness, Love Thee and praise Thee, and still shall raise Thee Glad hymns for ever: Hallelujah! | |
