Ruh' von schmerzensreichen Mühen Aus und heißem Liebesglühen; Der nach seligem Verein Trug Verlangen, Ist gegangen Zu des Heilands Wohnung ein. Dem Gerechten leuchten helle Sterne in des Grabes Zelle, Ihm, der selbst als Stern der Nacht Wird erscheinen, Wenn er seinen Herrn erschaut im Himmelspracht. Seid Fürsprecher, heil'ge Seelen, Heil'ger Geist, laß Trost nicht fehlen; Hörst du? Jubelsang erklingt, Feiertöne, [Drein]1 die schöne Engelsharfe [also singt]2: Ruh' von schmerzenreichen Mühen Aus und heißem Liebesglühen; Der nach seligem Verein Trug Verlangen, Ist gegangen Zu des Heilands Wohnung ein.

Paix après la peine pleine de douleurs Et le feu brûlant de l'amour ! Celui qui après l'union bénie A porté son désir Est parti Pour la demeure du Sauveur. Que pour celui qui est juste,brillent de claires Étoiles dans la cellule de la tombe, Pour lui qui est lui-même comme une étoile dans la nuit, Elles brilleront, Quand il regardera Le Seigneur dans la splendeur céleste. Soyez son avocat, âmes saintes, Saint Esprit, que le réconfort ne fasse pas défaut. Entends-tu ? Un chant joyeux retentit, Avec un ton de fête, Dans lequel la magnifique Harpe des anges chante. Paix après la peine pleine de douleurs Et le feu brûlant de l'amour ! Celui qui après l'union bénie A porté son désir Est parti Pour la demeure du Sauveur.
