 ... 

Wie bin ich doch so herzlich froh,
Daß mein Schatz ist das A und O,
Der Anfang und das Ende.
Er wird mich noch zu seinem Preis
Aufnehmen in das Paradeis,
Des klopf ich in die Hände.
Amen, Amen. Komm, du schöne
Freudenkrone, bleib nicht lange,
Deiner wart' ich mit Verlangen.

Kuinka ihanasti aamutähti loistaakaan
 (Sung text translation for setting by J. Bach)
 See original
Language: Finnish (Suomi)  after the German (Deutsch) 
 ... 

Miten iloinen olenkaan koko sydämestäni,
kun minun rakkaani on A ja O,
alku ja loppu.
Aikanaan hän voittosaaliinaan
korottaa minut paratiisiin,
sen tietäessäni taputan käsiäni riemusta.
Aamen, Aamen. Tule jo, ihana
ilonkruununi, älä viivy enää kauan,
odotan ja kaipaan sinua ikävöiden.
