Du bist die Ruh,
Der Friede mild,
Die Sehnsucht du,
Und was sie stillt.
Ich weihe dir
Voll Lust und Schmerz
Zur Wohnung hier
Mein Aug' und Herz.
Kehr' bei mir ein,
Und schließe du
Still hinter dir
Die Pforten zu.
Treib andern Schmerz
Aus dieser Brust.
Voll sey dies Herz
Voll deiner Lust.

In jou vind ik
Mijn rust, zo mild,
Jij die al mijn
Verlangen stilt.
Ik wijd aan jou
In vrede’ en smart
Als woning hier
Mijn oog en hart.
Kom nu bij mij
Met voetstap licht;
Trek achter jou
De deur zacht dicht.
Drijf uit mijn borst
Nu al mijn smart;
Laat van geluk
Vol zijn mijn hart.
