So nimm denn meine Hände [English translation]

Lord, take my hand and guide me

upon my way.

I know You are beside me

till my last day.

I dare not take without Thee

one single stride,

be my companion, lead me

both day and night.

Lord, cover with Thy mercy

my erring heart.

Of heaven make me worthy,

when I depart.

Let at Thy feet abide me,

Thy will to know.

A blissful sleep let find me

in weal and woe.

Though I don't feel you show me

Thy godly might,

still to my goal You guide me

e’en through the night.

So nothing can impede me

upon my way,

as Thy dear hand will lead me

till my last day.
