[illegible], if thy heart only paid heed,
Thou wouldst see the wonders of love,
Done to thee by the faithful God.

For what moved Him to create thee?
Nothing else than His burning love.
Yea, to snatch us from the shroud of death,
It drove Him into death.
Thus He fought with the weapons of love,
Only that we might remain His forever.
Now He hastens, with full hands,
To bestow upon us the treasures of grace.

Wherefore, then, O heart, this endless lament?
Why art thou never content?
What must thou ever say, murmuring:
“Why is this not granted to me?
Why am I only so afflicted?
I am the poorest of all here below.
To others it goes well; meanwhile
I am quite forgotten by the Lord.”

Away, ye shameful thoughts!
Ye would only bring me to apostasy.
I will not quarrel with my God;
He means it well in all things,
And is gracious to me without wavering.
Therefore I will sing Him a song of thanks:
Forgive me only, O God, full of grace,
The ingratitude with which I am laden.

I praise Thee for all suffering
That Thou sendest me only out of love.
It shall never part me from Thee.
Gladly I bear it, until Thou endest it.
If Thou, O Fountain of all joys,
My God, dost only not turn away from me;
If Thou wilt become my portion and comfort;
Then I ask nothing of heaven and earth.

So, singing praises, will I journey
The road to the eternal rest.
O make my heart glow with love,
That I may do it full of joy;
Then will my peace bloom more richly.
And when I one day lay down the pilgrim’s shoes,
Then through all eternities
Will I spread abroad Thy praise more gloriously.

Remark of the Editorial Office. — The dear readers must not presume that all the books which are advertised in the “Lutheraner” as in stock in New York are throughout orthodox writings. The unacquainted reader will therefore do well, before ordering an advertised book which he does not yet know, to ask someone knowledgeable about its worth.
