P - T8, Fl8 O4
English translation of 1st stanza:
From my heart I hold you dear, o Lord,
I ask that it may be your will to be not far from me
with your kindness and mercy.
The whole world gives me no delight,
I do not ask for heaven and earth,
if only I can have you.
And even if my heart at once breaks,
you are still my reassurance,
my portion and my heart's comfort,
who has redeemed me through his blood.
Lord Jesus Christ,
my God and Lord, my God and Lord,
never again let me be put to shame! |
