that holy things have taken,
let ears that now have heard your songs
to clamour never waken.
2 Lord, may the tongues which 'Holy' sang
keep free from all deceiving,
the eyes which saw thy love be bright,
thy blessèd hope perceiving.
3 The feet that tread your holy courts
from your light do not banish,
the bodies by your body fed
with your new life replenish. Languages: English Tune Title: ACH GOTT UND HERR
