+{{LinkText|O Du allersüßte Freude}}
-Who, alike in joy and sadness, leavest none unvisited;
-Breath of Godhead, highest King, who upholding everything.
-Wilt uphold, with love undying—Hear, O hear me humbly crying.
-From thy throne, as April shower, thou descendest, heavenly One,
-Freighted with thy sevenfold dower, from the Father, and the Son:
-Bring me noble Guest divine, God’s own blessings they are thine,
-Freely deal at thy good pleasure, fill me in abundant measure.
-Save, uphold, and go before me, fainting, be my staff and rod:
-Dying, to new life restore me; buried, be my grave, O God.
-From the dust when I arise, come, exalt me to the skies,
-Where thou within realms supernal, feed thy saints with joys eternal.
-Amen.
