2. Der du von dem Himmel bist [sung text not yet checked]

Der¹ du [von dem Himmel]² bist,
[Alles Leid]³ und Schmerzen [stillest]⁴,
Den, der doppelt elend ist,
Doppelt mit [Erquickung füllest]⁵,
Ach ich bin des Treibens müde!
[Was soll all der Schmerz und Lust?]⁶
Süßer Friede,
Komm, ach komm in [meine]⁷ Brust!

3. Dein Bildniss [sung text not yet checked]

Dein Bildnis wunderselig
Hab ich im Herzensgrund,
Das sieht so frisch und fröhlich
Mich an zu jeder Stund'.

Mein Herz still in sich singet
Ein altes schönes Lied,
Das in die Luft sich schwinget
Und zu dir eilig zieht.
