 (Sung text for setting by R. Trunk)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Holdselige, Holdselige,
in deren Schoss
die Gnade sich ergoss,
die einzig unter allen Gott gefiel.

Nun ist er dein,
dem sich die Welten neigen,
ist ganz dein eigen,
durch die er unser, unser unser werden will.

Du Ueberselige!  Du Ueberselige!
du einzige, befreit vom Fluche,
 ...  und gebenedeit, und gebenedeit
Und gebenedeit unter den Weibern dieser Erde.

Du lächelst, du lächelst, wie er dir gefällt;
du bebst, und hebst ihn in die Welt,
damit er dir Erlöser werde.
