Von Gott kömmt mir ein Freudenschein,
Wenn du mit deinen Äugelein
Mich freundlich tust anblicken.
O Herr Jesu, mein trautes Gut,
Dein Wort, dein Geist, dein Leib und Blut
Mich innerlich erquicken.
Nimm mich
Freundlich
In dein Arme, dass ich warme werd von Gnaden:
Auf dein Wort komm ich geladen.

Dans tes bras, pour que je puisse être réchauffé par ta grâce :
À ta parole j'arrive invité.
