Mich trösten mög, und durch den Tod
Zu Dir ins Leben dringen.
[Looking unto Jesus.]
Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 St. Peter, iii. 18.
Bear Jesus Christ the Lord in mind,
Who left His heavenly throne,
And, out of love to humankind,
Put human nature on—
Our Brother, born of flesh and blood,
To make His sure salvation good;
