Hilf, Jesu, hilf, daß ich auch dich bekenne |
Help, Jesus, help that I may also acknowledge You |
In Wohl und Weh, in Freud und Leid, |
in prosperity and in woe, in joy and in sorrow, |
Daß ich dich meinen Heiland nenne |
so that I may call You my Savior |
Im Glauben und Gelassenheit, |
in faith and calmness, |
Daß stets mein Herz von deiner Liebe brenne. |
that my heart may always burn with Your love. |
