So führst Du doch recht selig, Herr, die Deinen
O blessèd house, that cheerfully receiveth
Author: Karl Johann Philipp Spitta; Charles William Schaeffer Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O blessèd house, that cheerfully receiveth
Thy visits, Jesus Christ, the soul's true Friend,
That, far beyond all other guests, believeth
It must to Thee its warmest cheer extend;
Where every heart to Thee is fondly turning,
Where every eye for Thee with pleasure speaks,
Where all to know thy will are truly yearning,
And every one to do it promptly seeks.
2 O blessèd house, where man and wife, united
In Thy true love, have both one heart and mind,
Where both to Thy salvation are invited,
And in Thy doctrine both contentment find;
Where both, to Thee, in truth, for ever cleaving
In joy, in grief, make Thee their only stay,
And fondly hope in Thee to be believing,
Both in the good and in the evil day.
3 O blessèd house, where little children tender
Are laid upon Thy heart, with hands of prayer,
Thou Friend of children, Who wilt freely render
To them more than a mother's loving care,
Where round Thy feet they gather, to Thee clinging,
And hear thy loving voice most willingly,
And in their songs, Thy hearty praises ringing,
Rejoice in Thee, O blessèd Lord, in Thee.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life The Family Used With Tune: SO FÜHRST DU DOCH
