Lenne Bár Szívem Bűntöl Ment

Representative Text

1 Lenne bár szívem bűntől ment,
Istent dicsérő szív!
Mely a vér által immár szent,
Amely Jézushoz hív.

2 Átadott, tiszta és szelid,
Megváltóm trónusa,
Csak az Ő hangja hangzik itt,
Hiszen csak Ő Ura.

3 Alázatos, szófógadó,
Bízó, hívő s igaz,
Melyet nem választ se rossz, se jó,
Attól, ki lakja azt.

4 Töltse be égi szeretet,
Mennyei bölcsesség,
Melyet mindig a jó vezet,
Isteni példakép!

5 Add, Uram, szent lelkületed,
Ó, szállj le még ma rám!
Írjad szívemre jellemed!
Ez ma Hozzád imám.
