Will?

Gerda, what would you say was the force of the "will" in the title, at the time this was written? Moonraker (talk) 01:36, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know much about a different meaning then, from today's "I make an effort to (even if it is hard / doesn't come naturally)". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:11, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

First verse

Has anyone ever published a translation of this hymn? Here's an attempt at the first verse. (The need to find rhymes always changes the meaning slightly.) Moonraker (talk) 02:06, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Now fare thee well, I say to thee,

Thou false, ungodly World;

Thy plagues of sin and evil

I care no more to see.

My heart is fixed on Heaven,

There now I long to be;

May the Lord God's lordly welcome

For his servants come to me.

Beautiful. I started this article - improvement welcome - in memory of Cindy. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:58, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

About the "title"

Christoph Albrecht was wrong about what he called the title of the hymn. For German speaking users: de:Diskussion:Valet will ich dir geben#„Ein andächtiges Gebet“. --Rabanus Flavus (talk) 21:03, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Understand. Can you fix it? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:20, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nein, bitte, dein Englisch ist besser und du kennst die Gebräuche hier :) Gruß, --Rabanus Flavus (talk) 21:43, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
