Jesu, Tilger meiner Süden.

[168]Johann Heermann

Jesu, Victor over sin,

Help me now the fight to win.

Thou didst vanquish once, I know,

Him who seeks my overthrow;

So to Thee my faith will cleave,

And her hold will never leave,

Till the weary battle's done

And the final triumph won;

For I too through Thee may win,

Victor over death and sin.
