The Gateless Gate

The Great Way has no gate.
A thousand roads enter it.
When one passes through this gateless gate,
he freely walks between heaven and earth.

                                                                                        

Hans Holbein's Christ









English translation

Jesu, joy of man's desiring,

Holy Wisdom, Love most bright;

Drawn by Thee, our souls, aspiring,

Soar to uncreated light.

Word of God, our flesh that fashion'd,

With the fire of life impassion'd,

Striving still to truth unknown,

Soaring, dying, round Thy throne.

Through the way where hope is guiding,

Hark, what peaceful music rings!

Where the flock, in Thee confiding,

Drink of joy from deathless springs.

Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure;

Theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure.

Thou dost ever lead Thine own

In the love of joys unknown.


 Original German lyrics

Jesus bleibet meine Freude,

meines Herzens Trost und Saft,

Jesus wehret allem Leide,

er ist meines Lebens Kraft,

meiner Augen Lust und Sonne,

meiner Seele Schatz und Wonne;

darum lass' ich Jesum nicht

aus dem Herzen und Gesicht.


Wohl mir, dass ich Jesum habe,

o wie feste halt' ich ihn,

dass er mir mein Herze labe,

wenn ich krank und traurig bin.

Jesum hab' ich, der mich liebet

und sich mir zu eigen giebet,

ach drum lass' ich Jesum nicht,

wenn mir gleich mein Herze bricht.
