Excerpt from The Breaking Crucible: And Other Translations of German Hymns Endlich bricht der heisse Tiegel. Sorrows quell our insurrection, Bring our members to subjection, Under Christ's prevailing will, While the broken powers he raises To the work of holy praises Quietly and softly still. Sorrows gather home the senses, Lest, seduced by earth's pretenses, They should after idols stroll, Like an angel-guard, repelling Evil from the inmost dwelling, Bringing order to the soul. Sorrow now the harp is stringing For the everlasting singing, Teaching us to soar above, Where the blessed choir, palm-bearing, Harps are playing, crowns are wearing, Round the throne with songs of love. Sorrow makes alert and daring, Sorrow is our clay preparing For the cold rest of the grave, Sorrow is a herald, hasting, Of that springtide whose unwasting Health the dying soul shall save.
