<p>O Jesus, in uw’ heyl’ge naem,<br />Wy Wormkens ons knye-oxels vouwen,<br />Want door de dood hebt ghy behouwen,<br />De macht van Aerd’ en Hemel saem.<br />Ghy hebt in Babels duyst’re nachten,<br />Uw’ woord in mijne mond geleyd:<br />Ghy hiellipt my d’aenlocklijckheyd<br />Des levens kloeckelijck verachten:<br />Sie op my neder in de nood.<br />Demp in my (Heer!) des vleysches broosheyd,<br />Neerslaghtigheyd en modeloosheyd,<br />In ‘t aengaen van de wrange dood.<br />Laet, bid ick, op mijn neder trecken,<br />Uw’ heylge Geest, die Hemels Duyff,<br />De reynigheyd uws bloed-brons, schuyff<br />Togh over al mijn snoode vlecken.<br />Op dat ick voor het aengesicht, <br />Des grooten Vaders mach verschijnen,<br />Wiens Throon, omheynt van Cherubijnen,<br />Staet in het ontoeganck’lijck licht.<br />O Heyland! weest hier in mijn voorspraeck<br />Op dat ick niet vergeten blijff.<br />Weer bid ick, mijne swackheyd stijff,<br />Op dat ick kloeck doods klove door-raeck.<br />En reken haer geen schult, die koen<br />Uyt eenen averechtsen yver,<br />Doen stroomen een te bloed’gen vyver:<br />Sy weten (Heer!) niet wat sy doen.<br />Maer breeck veel liever, met de hamer<br />Uws Godlijck woords, hun hart in tween:<br />Op dat sy u bekennen, geen<br />Gescheps verstroyer, maer versamer:<br />Geeft zegen aen dit bloeyend Rijck:<br />En aen het hooft der Majesteyten,<br />’t Geen sigh besoedelt, met de feyten,<br />Niet Konincklijck; ‘k swijgh Christelijck.<br />Wy smeecken ’t u in uwen name<br />Die ons alleen gegeven is,<br />In welck het saligh leven is,<br />Verhoord ons Jesu: Amen, amen.</p>

<p>Oh Jesus, in your holy name,<br />Us worms fold our knees’ pits,<br />Become by death you have maintained,<br />The power of Earth and Heaven together.<br />You have in Babel’s dark nights,<br />Put your word in my mouth:<br />You helped me to despise the temptations of life in a bold way:<br />Look down on me in need.<br />Dampen in me (Lord!) the flesh’ brittleness,<br />Dejection and despondency,<br />In engaging the wry death.<br />Let, I pray, fall over me,<br />Your holy Spirit, which Heaven’s Pidgeon,<br />The purity of your bronzed blood, shoves<br />Over all my evil stains.<br />So that I may before the face,<br />Of the great Father may appear,<br />Whose throne, surrounded by Cherubs,<br />Stands in the inaccessible light.<br />Oh Saviour! Be here in my advocacy<br />So that I will not remain forgotten.<br />Again I pray, my weakness stiff,<br />So that I boldly go through death’s chasm.<br />And do no account her any debt, who valiantly<br />Out of a contradictory zeal,<br />Makes stream a bloody pond:<br />They know (Lord!) not what they do.<br />But break much rather, with the hammer<br />Your Godly words, their heart in two:<br />So that they show you, no<br />Creator’s destroyer, but assembler:<br />Give blessing to this flourishing Realm:<br />And to the head of the Majesties,<br />That which taints itself with the facts,<br />Not Royal; I Christianly fall silent,<br />We beg it in you in your name<br />Which is given only to us,<br />In which the blessed life is,<br />Hear us Jesus: Amen, amen.<br /><br />Translation by Rena Bood</p>
