Schließe, mein Herze, dies selige Wunder |
Enclose, my heart, these blessed miracles |
Fest in deinem Glauben ein! |
fast within your faith! |
Lasse dies Wunder, die göttlichen Werke, |
Let these wonders, these divine works, |
Immer zur Stärke |
forever be the reinforcement |
Deines schwachen Glaubens sein! |
of your weak faith! |
