Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs / Translated by John Kelly - Paul Gerhardt

In heav'n above adore Thee.

'Tis patience must support you

When sorrow, grief, or smart,

Or whate'er else may hurt you,

Doth rend your aching heart.

Belov'd and chosen seed!

If not a death will kill you,

Yet once again I tell you,

'Tis patience that you need.
