1  So nimm denn meine Hände
und führe mich
bis an mein selig Ende
und ewiglich.
Ich mag allein nicht gehen,
nicht einen Schritt:
wo du wirst gehn und stehen,
da nimm mich mit.
 
2  In dein Erbarmen hülle
mein schwaches Herz
und mach es gänzlich stille
in Freud und Schmerz.
Lass ruhn zu deinen Füßen
dein armes Kind:
es will die Augen schließen
Und glauben blind.
 
3  Wenn ich auch gleich nichts fühle
von deiner Macht,
du führst mich doch zum Ziele
auch durch die Nacht:
so nimm denn meine Hände
und führe mich
bis an mein selig Ende
und ewiglich!

1  O take my hand, dear Father, and lead thou me,
Till at my journey’s ending I dwell with thee.
Alone I cannot wander one single day,
So do thou guide my footsteps on life’s rough way.

2  O cover with thy mercy my poor, weak heart,
Lest I in joy or sorrow from thee depart.
Permit thy child to linger here at thy feet,
Thy goodness blindly trusting with faith complete.

3  Though oft thy power but faintly may stir my soul,
With thee, my Light in darkness, I reach the goal.
Take then my hand, dear Father, and lead thou me,
Till at my journey’s ending I dwell with Thee.

Translation by Hermann Brueckner
