Ach! segne mich Herr Jesu Christ,
Mit Licht aus Deinem Worte!
Die Stätt' da Deine Ehre ist,
Mach' mir zur Himmels Pforte.

Ich darf gar nicht versagen,
In keiner Noth und Pein!
Darf stets im Glauben sagen:
Herr, hilf mir, ich bin Dein!

Ah, bless me, Lord Jesus Christ

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Ah, bless me, Lord Jesus Christ,
With light from Thy Word!
The place where Thy Glory resides
Make into a gateway to Heaven for me.

I am not permitted to fail,
Not in any adversity or anguish!
In faith I may always say:
Lord, help me, I am Thine!
