The Hymns of Martin Luther Part 17

4. Ein Wunderwerk da neu geschah; Sechs steinern' Kruege man da sah Voll Wa.s.ser, das verlor sein Art, Rother Wein durch sein Wort d'raus ward.

5. Lob, Ehr' und Dank fei dir gesagt, Christ, gebor'n von der reinen Magd, Mit Vater und dem heiligen Geist Von nun an bis in Ewigkeit.

x.x.xVI. Der du bist drei in Einigkeit.

Thou, who art Three in Unity.

_An imitation from the Gregorian hymn, "O lux beata trinitas."

_Original Latin Melody. Harmony in_ VON TUCHER, 18--.

1. Thou who art Three in Unity, True G.o.d from all eternity, The sun is fading from our sight, s.h.i.+ne thou on us with heavenly light.

2. We praise thee with the dawning day, To thee at evening also pray, With our poor song we wors.h.i.+p thee Now, ever and eternally.

3. Let G.o.d the Father be adored, And G.o.d the Son, the only Lord, And equal adoration be, Eternal Comforter, to thee.

1. Der du bist drei in Einigkeit, Ein wahrer Gott von Ewigkeit; Die Sonn' mit dem Tag von uns weicht: La.s.s leuchten uns dein goettlich Licht.

2. Des Morgens, Gott, dich loben wir, Des Abends auch beten fuer dir, Unser armes Lied ruehmt dich Jetzt und immer und ewiglich.

Gott Vater, dem sei ewig Ehr, Gott Sohn der ist der einig' Herr, Und dem Troester heiligen Geist, Von nun an bis in Ewigkeit.
