Original text and translations

English text

Go thou on before us,
Guide us on our way,
Mighty One.
Make our journey pleasant,
Never let us stray.
R.:
Wonder-worker, hearken.
Come in thy splendour; come in thy mighty pow’r.

Trample on the wicked,
All who would oppose,
Mighty One.
Drive away the robber;
Drive away our foes.
R.

As we journey onward,
Songs to thee we raise,
Mighty One.
Thou didst aid our fathers.
Guard us all our days.
R.

Feed us and inspire us;
Keep us in thy care,
Mighty One.
Lead us past pursuers
Unto meadows fair.
R.
