"Im Frieden dein, o Herre mein" (In Your peace, o my Lord) is a three-stanza German Christian communion hymn.

[1] Its initial inspiration draws from the account of Jesus being presented at the temple 40 days after his birth, in a ritual of purification depicted in the Gospel of Luke.

Als mir ward Bscheid von dir geseit, so hast mich jetzt begossen, daß mein Gesicht mit Freuden spricht, den Heiland habs gesehen!

Wie mir dein Mund gegeben kund, schenkst Gnad du ohne Maßen, hast mein Gesicht das sel'ge Licht, den Heiland, schauen lassen.

Ob solchem Gut jauchzt Sinn und Mut mit alln, die du geladen.

O Herr, verleih, dass Lieb und Treu in dir uns all verbinden, dass Hand und Mund zu jeder Stund dein Freundlichkeit verkünden, bis nach der Zeit den Platz bereit' an deinem Tisch wir finden.

[3] Spitta transfers the thought to a more general meaning, of travelling one's roads after having seen the light, adding that His mercy is unmeasurable ("ohne Maßen").

[7] The second stanza in Englisch's version is a paraphrase of the second part of Simeon's canticle, mentioning the dear guest ("werthen Gast"), alluding to Jesus, for all people including the heathen, and for the greatness of Israel.

[3] Spitta changes the focus, identifying the singer with the guest (instead of referring to Jesus), invited to a rich meal of mercy ("das reiche Mahl der Gnaden").

The meal offers the bread of life ("Lebensbrot"), which joins the invited believers to God and among each other, a reason to praise, filled with sense and courage ("Sinn und Mut").

[11] The final stanza is a prayer for love and faithfulness in God connecting "us all" ("uns all"), so that hand and mouth will show the friendliness of the Lord, until after this time all may find a seat at his table.

The last section begins an octave higher than the second ends, a feature often found in contemporary Strasbourg melodies, especially by Matthäus Greiter, sometimes accentuating a bar form's abgesang.

[15] While it is usually difficult to find a relation between words and music in strophic texts, it can be assumed that peace is expressed by the calm movement, up and down in symmetry.
