Herr Jesu Christ, dich zu uns wend

Representative Text

1 Herr Jesu Christ, dich zu uns wend,
dein’ Heilgen Geist du zu uns send;
mit Hilf und Gnad er uns regier
und uns den Weg zur Wahrheit führ.

2 Tu auf den Mund zum Lobe dein,
bereit das Herz zur Andacht fein,
den Glauben mehr, stärk den Verstand,
daß uns dein Nam werd wohlbekannt,

3 bis wir singen mit Gottes Heer:
"Heilig, heilig ist Gott der Herr!"
und schauen dich von Angesicht
in ewger Freud und sel'gem Licht.

4 Ehr sei dem Vater und dem Sohn,
dem Heilgen Geist in einem Thron;
der Heiligen Dreieinigkeit
sei Lob und Preis in Ewigkeit.
