No. 1

Es ist das Heil uns kommen her von Gnad und lauter Güte;
die Werke helfen nimmermehr, sie mögen nicht behüten.
Der Glaub sieht Jesum Christum an; der hat g’nug für uns all getan,
er ist der Mittler worden.

(Paul Speratus 1523)

No. 2

Schaffe in mir, Gott, ein rein Herz, und gib mir einen neuen, gewissen Geist.
Verwirf mich nicht von deinem Angesicht und nimm deinen heiligen Geist nicht von mir.
Tröste mich wieder mit deiner Hülfe, und der freudige Geist erhalte mich.

(Ps 51,10–12)

No. 2

Make me a clean heart, O God : and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from thy presence : and take not thy holy Spirit from me.
O give me the comfort of thy help again : and stablish me with thy free Spirit.
