Heiligste Dreieinigkeit, |
Holiest Trinity, |
Großer Gott der Ehren, |
Great God of honor, |
Komm doch in der Gnadenzeit |
in the time of grace |
Bei uns einzukehren, |
o come and return to us, |
Komm doch in die Herzenshütten, |
o come into the tabernacle of our hearts, |
Sind sie gleich gering und klein, |
though they are small and insignificant, |
Komm und laß dich doch erbitten, |
come and let Yourself be persuaded, |
Komm und kehre / ziehe / bei uns ein! |
come and enter within us! |
