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.

Pace alla dolorose fatiche, all'ardente fiamma d'amore! Dopo la beata unione, illusione, desiderio, egli è andato alla dimora del Signore. Al giusto splendono chiare le stelle nella camera della tomba, a lui, come stella nella notte splenderà la luce, quando vedrà il suo Signore nella gloria celeste. Intercedete voi, anime beate! Spirito santo, non fare mancare conforto. Senti? Risuona un canto di giubilo, suoni di festa delle soavi arpe angeliche. Pace alla dolorose fatiche, all'ardente fiamma d'amore! Dopo la beata unione, illusione, desiderio, egli è andato alla dimora del Signore.
