Knabenchor Bimm bamm, bimm bamm... Frauenchor Es sungen drei Engel einen süßen Gesang; Mit Freuden es selig in den Himmel klang, Sie jauchzten fröhlich auch dabei, Daß Petrus sei von Sünden frei, Von Sünden frei. Und als der Herr Jesus zu Tische saß, Mit seinen zwölf Jüngern das Abendmahl aß, Da sprach der Herr Jesus: Was stehst du denn hier? Wenn ich dich anseh', so weinest du mir! Alt-Solo Und sollt' ich nicht weinen, du gütiger Gott. Frauenchor Du sollst ja nicht weinen! Sollst ja nicht weinen! Alt-Solo Ich hab' übertreten die zehn Gebot. Ich gehe und weine ja bitterlich, Ach komm und erbarme dich! Ach komm und erbarme dich über mich! Frauenchor Hast du denn übertreten die zehen Gebot, So fall auf die Kniee und bete zu Gott! Liebe nur Gott in alle Zeit, So wirst du erlangen die himmlische Freud', Die himmlische Freud' ist eine selige Stadt; Die himmlische Freud', die kein Ende mehr hat! Die himmlische Freude war Petro bereit't, Durch Jesum und Allen zur Seligkeit.
Note: The chorus of boys (Knabenchor) sings "Bimm bamm, bimm bamm" at the beginning and intermittently throughout, joined at several points by other chorus members.

Coro di fanciulli: Bimm bamm, bimm, bamm, . . . Coro di fanciulle: Cantavano tre angeli una dolce canzone, di gioia beata il cielo tutto risuona. Ed il loro canto di lode era pure lieto A causa di San Pietro, puro da ogni peccato, Puro da ogni peccato. E quando il signore Gesù a tavola prese posto Per cenare con i dodici apostoli tutt'intorno, Allora disse: "Perché mi stai davanti? Quando ti guardo, perché prorompi in pianti?" Soprano: "E non dovrei piangere forse, mio buon Dio" ... Coro di fanciulle: Non devi affatto piangere Contralto: "Ho trasgredito i Dieci Comandamenti; ed ora vado via piangendo con amari lamenti, ah vieni e di me abbi misericordia, di me abbi misericordia." Coro di fanciulle: Se i Dieci Comandamenti hai trasgredito Allora inginocchiati e prega Dio pentito! Ed ama solo Dio in ogni momento, così otterrai il celeste godimento! La gioia celeste, la città beata; La gioia celeste, che dura infinita. La gioia celeste che San Pietro procura, Attraverso Gesù, e che tutti ristora.
