Almighty Spirit! who renewest
The hearts of sinners through thy word,
Who for good works with strength enduest,
And dost Thyself the grace afford;
Come, strengthen me against temptation,
A weak and sinful child of earth,
Lest fresh transgressions should have birth,
And grace thus turn to condemnation.
[DES HEILANDS THRÄNEN.]
Als Er nahe dazu kam, sahe Er die Stadt an, und weinete über sie.
