In Gottesnamen reisen wir

[225]Anon.

In God's name let us on our way!

The Father's help and grace we pray,

His love shall guard us round about

From foes within and arms without.

Hallelujah.

And Christ, be Thou our Friend and Guide,

Through all our wanderings at our side,

Help us all evil to withstand

That wars against Thy least command.

Hallelujah.

The Holy Spirit o'er us brood

With all His gifts of richest good,

With hope and strength when dark our road

And bring us home again in God!

Hallelujah.
