English text
God, our father, hear our pray'r:
Keep thy children in thy care.
Unto thee we pray,
Unto thee we pray.
Christ, our Lord, forgive our sin;
Let thy Spirit enter in
On this Sabbath day.
Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me,
Bless His holy name.
For this world of sin and strife,
Thou has words of truth and life,
Lord, have thine own way,
Lord, have thine own way.
Amen.
