trans. by Catherine Winkworth, 1869
| Lord, to Thy chosen ones appear, Gladden weak hearts weighed down by fear, Let Thy Word's light, a guiding Star, Arise on those who dwell afar. | | Let none who seek Thee faint or tire, But still press on with warm desire, Shunning whate'er Thou dost condemn, That Satan have no part in them. | | Bid them Thy easy yoke to know, Patient alike in joy and woe; In spirit, soul, and body still Wholly surrendered to Thy will. | | We yield, O Thou true Life, to Thee, Wealth, honour, all things, utterly, Fixing our hearts on Thee alone; O God Supreme, be Thou our own! | |
