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.
