Wie braust durch die Wipfel der heulende Sturm!
Es klirren die Balken - es zittert das Haus!
Es rollet der Donner - es leuchtet der Blitz! -
Und finster die Nacht, wie das Grab! - - -
Immerhin, immerhin!
So tobt' es auch jüngst noch in mir!
Es brauste das Leben, wie jetzo der Sturm!
Es bebten die Glieder, wie jetzo das Haus!
Es flammte die Liebe, wie jetzo der Blitz! -
Und finster die Brust, wie das Grab! -
Nun tobe du wilder, gewalt'ger Sturm!
Im Herzen ist Friede, im Herzen ist Ruh! -
Des Bräutigams harret die liebende Braut,
Gereinigt in prüfender Glut -
Der ewigen Liebe getraut. -
Ich harre, mein Heiland, mit sehnendem Blick;
Komm, himmlischer Bräutigam! hole die Braut!
Erlöse die Seele von irdischer Haft! -
Horch! friedlich ertönet das Glöcklein vom Thurm;
Es lockt mich das süße Getön
Allmächtig zu ewigen Höhn -
»Alleluja!«

-- Como brama la tormenta que aulla por las copas de los árboles Las vigas se sacuden; la cas se estremece. Los truenos ruedan, los relámpagos destellan, Y la noche esta oscura como una tumba. -- Que así, sea! Que así sea! No hace mucho que aún rugía una tormenta en mí. Mi vida bramaba como la tormenta ahora, Mi cuerpo tamblaba como lo hace la casa. El amor destellaba como lo hacen los relámpagos, Y mi corazon estaba tan oscura como la tumba. Brama ya, tormenta salvaje y poderosa, en mi corazón hay paz, En mi corazon hay calma. La novia espera el novio purificada por las llamas santas Casada con el amor eterno. Te espero mi Salvador con mirada de anhelo. Ven, nóvio celestial, toma a tu esposada Líbera su alma de ataduras terrenales. Escucha, la campana suena pacifica desde la torre. Me invita hácia cimes eternas. Aleluya. Aleluya.
