Gebet an Lebuin von Friesland

Truly I tell you: seek the Light, as your brother Lebuin sought it.
Knock, and the gates of truth will be opened to you.


Our Father, You sent him to the Frisians, like a lamb among wolves,
He did not fear the sword nor the pagan fire in the night.
Grant us his unwavering faith, so that we, as the salt of the earth,
May bring Your living Word to those who still wander in darkness.

Припев
Oh, Saint Lebuin, the voice of one crying out by the waters of the IJssel!
Pray to the Heavenly Father for us, the poor in spirit who seek the truth.
May the Kingdom of God descend into our hardened hearts,
For where debt is forgiven and love shines, there the Lord abides.


Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Lebuin raised his voice at the assembly of the disobedient,
He did not speak of his own will, but Your Spirit spoke through him.
Teach us too not to hide a lit lamp under a basket.

Припев
Oh, Saint Lebuin, the voice of one crying out by the waters of the IJssel!
Pray to the Heavenly Father for us, the poor in spirit who seek the truth.
May the Kingdom of God descend into our hardened hearts,
For where debt is forgiven and love shines, there the Lord abides.


Just as a branch cannot bear fruit by itself,
Neither can you, unless you abide in the Truth.
By the prayers of the righteous, your path shall be cleansed.


Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you.
Through the intercession of Saint Lebuin, may grace be with you.
Amen. Amen.
