On thy love my heart reposes
Language: English
On thy love my heart reposes Hear me draw my falt'ring breath -- Raise me, lest mine eyelid closes -- Lest I sleep the sleep of death. Lest my haughty foes prevailing Proudly boast, "we laid him low." Lest the scorner hear my wailing, And he triumphed in my woe.

Deines Kinds Gebet erhöre
Language: German (Deutsch) after the English
Deines Kinds Gebet erhöre, Vater, schau auf mich herab; meinen Augen Licht gewähre, rette mich aus dunklem Grab. Sonst verlacht der Feind mich Armen, triumphiert in stolzer Pracht; sonst verfolgt er ohn' Erbarmen und verspottet deine Macht.
