HYMNS WITH TRANSLATION
261
| 1. |
| Delightful Christ, |
| Thou which art |
| My pleasure, |
| Thou art the joy of my heart, |
| I bear Thee in my bosom, |
| Oh thou beautiful light of heaven. |
| 2. |
| Thou hast Thyself, |
| Yea, for me, |
| Let be crucified. |
| And Thy rose-colored blood, |
| Is my soul's consolation, |
| When it strives in greatest needs. |
| 3. |
| Thus, treasure. |
| Let me find |
| Room with Thee, |
| As Thou hast redemption free, |
| E'en for me, Thy child, prepared |
| And paid the debt for all my sins. |
| 4. |
| Say'st Thou not |
| Thy countenance |
| Beholds the poor? |
| Just as doth a father, |
| Over his molested lot, |
| Look betimes in pity. |
| 5. |
| I can't conceive |
| That only Thy tongue |
| Spoke to him forgiveness |
| Who repentance felt within the temple, |
| And in sorrow smote his breast. |
