1. Im Himmelreich
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im Himmelreich ein Haus steht,

Die Säulen die sind von Marmelstein,
da legte unser Herr hinein
die edelsten Gesteine.
In dieses Haus geht niemand ein,
der nicht von allen Sünden reine.

2. Dort oben
 (Sung text)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Dort oben, dort oben an der himmlischen Tür,
und da steht eine arme Seele, schaut traurig herfür.
Arme Seel' mein, arme Seel' mein, komm zu mir doch herein,
und da werden deine Kleider ja alle so rein.
So weiß und so rein, und so weiß wie der Schnee,
und da woll'n wir miteinander ins Himmelreich eingeh'.
In das Himmelreich, in das Himmelreich, in das himmlische Paradies,
wo Gott Vater, wo Gott Sohne, wo Gott heil'ger Geist is'.

Text Authorship:

  • from Volkslieder (Folksongs) , 17th century
