Hymnus an den heiligen Geist
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
Herr, unser Gott! erhöre unser Flehen,
Die sehnend auf zu dir, zu dir, Allgüt'ger, sehen;
Herab auf uns sieh', Tröster du,
In unser Herz leg' Himmelsruh'!
Erfülle uns mit Kraft und Glaubensmuth,
Verlass' auf unserm Pfad uns nicht!
Es leite uns zu dem, was recht und gut.
O Herr, verlass' uns nicht!
Note: This is the text which was published with the first edition of Schubert's Hymnus an den heiligen Geist as op. posth. 154 by Anton Diabelli in 1849. Schubert's manuscript conveys a rather different text.

Hymne à l'Esprit saint
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Seigneur, notre Dieu ! Écoute nos prières,
Qui regardent impatiemment vers toi, vers toi, dans toute ta bonté ;
Abaisse ton regard sur nous, toi qui réconfortes,
Dans nos cœurs dépose la paix céleste !
Remplis-nous avec la force et la volonté de croire,
Ne nous abandonne pas sur notre chemin !
Que nous soyons conduits vers ce qui est bon et juste.
Ô Seigneur, ne nous abandonne pas !
