Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Von Gott kömmt mir ein Freudenschein,
Wenn du mit deinen Äugelein
Mich freundlich tust anblicken.
O Herr Jesu, mein trautes Gut,
Dein Wort, dein Geist, dein Leib und Blut
Mich innerlich erquicken.
Nimm mich
Freundlich
In dein Arme, dass ich warme werd von Gnaden:
Auf dein Wort komm ich geladen.

Chorale. A joyful light would come to me from God
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
A joyful light would come to me from God
If you, with your precious eyes,
Would but look to me as a friend.
O Lord Jesus, my truest good;
Your word, your spirit, your body and blood
Rejuvenate me inwardly.
Take me,
As a friend,
In your arms, that I may be warmed by grace:
I come, invited, to your word.
