Du gabst, o Herr, mir Seyn und Leben
Language: German (Deutsch)
Du gabst, o Herr, mir Seyn und Leben,
Und Deiner Lehre himmlisch Licht;
Was kann dafür, ich Staub, Dir geben?
Nur danken kann ich, mehr doch nicht.
Wohl mir! Du willst für Deine Liebe
Ja nichts, als wieder Lieb' allein;
Und Liebe, dankerfüllte Liebe
Soll meines Lebens Wonne seyn.
Mich selbst, o Herr, mein Thun und Denken
Und Leid und Freude opfr' ich Dir;
Herr, nimm durch Deines Sohnes Opfer
Dieß Herzensopfer auch von mir! -

Tu m'as donné, ô Seigneur, l'existence...
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Tu m'as donné, ô Seigneur, l'existence et la vie,
Et la lumière céleste de ton enseignement ;
Que puis-je, poussière que je suis, te donner ?
Je peux seulement te remercier, rien de plus.
Je suis heureux ! Pour ton amour tu ne veux
Rien, seulement de l'amour en retour ;
Et l'amour, l'amour reconnaissant,
Sera le bonheur de ma vie.
Moi-même, ô Seigneur, mes actes et mes pensées
Et le chagrin et le joie, je te les offre ;
Seigneur, par le sacrifice de ton fils accepte
Le sacrifice de mon cœur aussi.
