by Paul Gerhardt (1606 - 1676)
Helligånd, vor sorg du slukke
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Helligånd, vor sorg du slukke, al vor dunkelhed gør klar, livets kilde du oplukke, Davids-nøglen du har! Giv os trøst for al vor nød, lys for mørke, liv for død! Du, den nye verdens skaber, vis i os, hvad du formår! Kæmp, så verdens fyrste taber, vind, så Jesu ord består! Byg dit tempel i vort bryst, fyld Guds hus med himmellyst!
