German:
Vater unser im Himmelreich,
Der du uns alle heisset gleich
Brüder sein und dich rufen an
Und willst das Beten von uns ha'n:
Gib, dass nicht bet' allein der Mund;
Hilf, dass es geh' aus Herzens Grund.
English:
Our Father in the heaven Who art,
Who tellest all of us, in heart
Brothers to be, and on Thee call
And wilt have prayer from one and all,
Grant that the mouth not only pray,
From deepest heart O help its way.
--Tr. George MacDonald
