In dir ist Freude
I. Lindemann. 1580-1630.
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 for ever: 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 Of earth or Satan, sin or death! He sees and blesses In worst distresses, He can change them with a breath! 156 Wherefore the story Tell of His glory With heart and voices; All heaven rejoices In Him for ever; Hallelujah. We triumph o'er sadness, We sing in our gladness, We love Thee, we praise Thee, And yonder shall raise Thee, Glad hymns for ever; Hallelujah. | |
