Hermann Brueckner translation

Take Thou my hand, dear Father, and lead Thou me,
Until my journey endeth, eternally.
Alone I will not wander one single day;
Be Thou my true companion and with me stay.

O cover with Thy mercy my poor, weak heart!
Let every thought rebellious from me depart.
Permit Thy child to linger here at Thy feet,
And blindly trust Thy goodness with faith complete.

Tho' naught of Thy great power may move my soul,
With Thee thro' night and darkness I reach the goal.
Take then my hands, O Father, and lead Thou me,
Until my journey endeth eternally.
