Our translations: CAT DUT DUT ENG ENG FRE FRI HEB IRI ITA POR SPA

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.

Tu sei la pace

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Curschmann)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Tu sei la pace, 
la quiete soave,
tu il desiderio 
e ciò che lo placa.

Io ti consacro, 
pieno di gioia e dolore,
per tua dimora i miei occhi 
e il mio cuore.

Resta con me, 
e chiudi
in silenzio dietro 
di te le porte.

Porta via il dolore 
da questo petto!
Sia pieno il cuore 
della tua gioia.

 ...
