Representative Text

1 O Jesus Krist, dig till os vänd,
Din Helge Ande till oss sänd;
Vår andakt väck, vår suckan hör
Och oss på lifvets väg själf för.

2 Upplåt vår mun till idtt namns pris,
På oss din nådes kraft bevis,
Förök vår tro, upplys vår själ
Ditt helga ord att lära väl.

3 Till dess vi sjunga med Guds här:
Gud helig,helig,helig är,
Och saligt skäda ljusens Far
Bland änglaskaror uppenbar.

4 Ära ske Fadern och hans Son,
Den Helge And' i samma tron!
Den heliga treenighet
Ske pris och lof i evighet!
