Tune.--"O blest the house, whate'er befall."
Nun hilf uns, O Herr Jesu Christ
B. Brethren Lord Jesus Christ, we come to Thee, For that hast deign'd on earth to be A pious and a loving child, Whom never sin nor guilt defiled. | We ask but one thing for our lot, O Lord, deny Thy children not,-- Teach us to rest upon Thy will, And take Thee for our Pattern still. | Oh put Thy Spirit in our breast, Help us to learn with childlike rest, That we may lay the one true ground, And evermore in Thee be found. | |
