Language: German (Deutsch)

Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern
Voll Gnad und Wahrheit von dem Herrn,
Die süße Wurzel Jesse.
Du Sohn Davids aus Jakobs Stamm,
Mein König und mein Bräutigam,
Hast mir mein Herz besessen.
Lieblich, freundlich, Schön und herrlich,
Groß und ehrlich, Reich an Gaben,
Hoch und sehr prächtig erhaben.

 ... 

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.

¡Cuán bella luce la estrella de oriente

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Geist)

See original

Language: Spanish (Español) after the German (Deutsch)

¡Cuán bella luce la estrella de oriente,
mostrando la gracia y la verdad del Señor,
la dulce raíz de Jesé!
Tú, hijo de David, de la tribu de Jacob,
mi rey y mi esposo, 
has colmado todo mi corazón.
Dulce y amable, bello y grandioso,
egregio y noble, dadivoso,
sublime en tu gran esplendor. 

 ... 

Mi corazón se regocija, 
pues mi tesoro es el alfa y el omega, 
el principio y el fin.
Él me acogerá en el paraíso 
cuando lo juzgue apropiado, 
lo aplaudo gustosa. 
Amen, amen. Ven, hermosa corona 
de alegrías, no tardes,
te espero ansiosa.
