Tune.--"Jesu, day by day."
Von des Himmels Thron
Marot, modern
From Thy heav'nly home, Son of God, make known Now Thy pow'r, Thy Spirit send us, Strength for this great work to lend us, That we all may be Wholly giv'n to Thee. | Thou our hearts prepare, Shed Thy gladness there, That we boldly may confess Thee As our only Lord, and bless Thee Whose most precious blood Flow'd to work our good. | Draw our hearts above, Fill them with Thy love, So to keep the vows we offer, Scorning all that earth can proffer, Truly day by day Walking in Thy way. | And as we draw near For Thy blessing here, May Thy grace in heavenly showers Quicken all our inner powers, And Thy light and peace In our hearts increase. | Let Thy Spirit, Lord, Promised in Thy Word, Keep us steadfastly in union With Thy faithful saints' communion, Till in yon blest place We behold Thy face! | |
