Devotionale

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG FRE FRE

Schöne du, Erbarmerin,
Weil mir deine Augen lachen:
Nimm mein Lied in Gnaden hin -
Schöne du, Erbarmerin.

Nimm mein Herz in deine Hand,
Wieg mein Lied in Trost und Träume,
Schöne, himmelhergesandt,
Nimm mein Herz in deine Hand.

Alles wird dann ruhig sein,
Denn die Heimat ist gefunden.
Kehrt mein Herz in deinem ein,
Alles wird dann ruhig sein.

Dévotion

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Toi qui es belle et compatissante,
Puisque tes yeux me sourient :
Considère mon chant avec clémence --
Toi qui es belle et compatissante.

Prends mon cœur dans ta main,
Pèse mon chant en consolation et rêves,
Belle, envoyée du ciel
Prends mon cœur dans ta main.

Alors tout sera tranquille,
Car mon royaume a été trouvé.
Si mon cœur pénètre le tien,
Alors tout sera tranquille.
