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! | |
