Open the fountain from above,
And let it on our spirits flow.

Thy grace for every sinner free,
Till all mankind shall know Thy Name,
Shall all stretch out their hands to Thee,
Open a door, which earth and hell
May strive to shut but strive in vain;
Grant that Thy Word may richly dwell
Among us and our fruit remain!

And fruit we every hour shall bear,
Throughout the world Thy Gospel spread,
Thy everlasting grace declare.
We all, in perfect love renewed,
Shall know the greatness of Thy power,
Stand in the temple of our God
As pillars, and go out no more. Languages: English Tune Title: PILGRIMAGE

with ready heart and willing,
whatever you command,
my calling here fulfilling;
and do it when I ought,
with zeal and joyfulness;
and bless the work I've wrought,
for you must give success.

that later need recalling;
guard me, lest idle speech
may from my lips be falling;
but when, within my place,
I must and ought to speak,
then to my words give grace,
lest I offend the weak.

still keep me calm and fearless;
help me to bear the cross
when life seems bleak and cheerless,
to overcome my foes
with words and actions kind;
O God, your will disclose,
your counsel let me find.

free reconciliation
and hope amid despair.

for God's redeeming word.
