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.

Rust van 't smartenrijke streven Uit en 't vurig liefde geven! Die van zalig samenzijn Steeds bleef dromen Heeft genomen Vlucht naar 's Heilands woondomein. Voor wie goed is lichten helder Sterren in de grafkuilkelder; Die als ster zelf in de nacht Licht zal schenken, Als hij wenken Ziet zijn Heer in hemelpracht. Geef ons voorspraak, zielen heilig! Heil'ge Geest, geef troost, maak veilig. Hoort ge? Feestgezang weerklinkt, Jubeltonen, Waarin de schone Eng'lenharp het zingt: Rust van 't smartenrijke streven Uit en 't vurig liefde geven! Die van zalig samenzijn Steeds bleef dromen Heeft genomen Vlucht naar 's Heilands woondomein.
