Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf, The spirit comes to help our weakness, denn wir wissen nicht, For we do not know was wir beten sollen, What we should pray, wie sich's gebühret; As we ought to pray; sondern der Geist selbst vertritt But the spirit itself pleads uns aufs beste mit unaussprechlichem Seufzen. For us in the best way with inexpressible groans. Der aber die Herzen forschet, der weiß, But he who searches our hearts knows was des Geistes Sinn sei; what the Spirit means denn er vertritt die Heiligen nach dem, since he pleads for the saints das Gott gefället. In the way that pleases God. |

Du heilige Brunst, süßer Trost You sacred warmth, sweet consolation, Nun hilf uns, fröhlich und getrost now help us joyful and comforted In deinem Dienst beständig bleiben, in your service, always to remain Die Trübsal uns nicht abtreiben. do not let sorrow drive us away! O Herr, durch dein Kraft uns bereit O Lord, through your power make us ready Und stärk des Fleisches Blödigkeit, and strengthen the feebleness of our flesh Dass wir hie ritterlich ringen, so that we may bravely struggle Durch Tod und Leben zu dir dringen. through life and death to reach you! Halleluja, halleluja. Alleluia, alleluia. |
