Herre Gud vad det är vackert
att höra toner av en salig ängels mun
Herre Gud vad det är ljuvligt
att dö i toner och i sång

Stilla rinn o min själ i floden
i dunkla himmelska purpurfloden
Stilla sjunk o min sälla ande
i gudafamnen den friska goda

Die lauschende Maria

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Swedish (Svenska)

Herre Gott wie herrlich ist es,
Töne zu hör’n aus eines sel’gen Engels Mund.
Herre Gott wie lieblich ist es,
zu singen in der Sterbestund.

Stille fließ, o mein’ Seel’, in Fluten,
in dunkeln himmlischen Purpurfluten,
stille sinke, o meine Seele,
in Gottes Arme, die seelenguten.
