Auferstehn
 (Sung text for setting by C. Bach)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE
  Auferstehn, ja, auferstehn wirst du, 
Mein Staub, nach kurzer Ruh!
Unsterblichs Leben 
Wird, der dich schuf, dir geben! 
Gelobt sei Er. 

 ... 

  Wie den Träumenden wirds dann mir seyn! 
Mit Jesu geh ich ein 
Zu seinen Freuden! 
Der müden Wanderers Leiden 
Sind dann nicht mehr! 

  Ach, ins Allerheiligste führt mich 
Mein Mittler dann; lebt' ich 
Im Heiligthume, 
Zu seines Namens Ruhme.
In Ewigkeit.

Referenced in Matthisson's An Laura, als sie Klopstocks Auferstehungslied sang.
