Maria ging aus wandern, so fern ins fremde Land, bis sie Gott den Herren fand. Sie hat ihn schon gefunden wohl vor des Herodes Haus, er sah so betrüblich aus. Das Kreuz, das musst' er tragen nach Jerusalem vor die Stadt, wo er gemartet ward. Was trug er auf seinem Haupte? Ein' scharfe Dornenkron'; das Kreuz, das trägt er schon. Daran soll man bedenken, ein jeder jung or alt, dass das Himmelreich leidet Gewalt!

Maria ging eens reizen, Ver weg op vreemde grond, Tot zij God de Heer daar vond. Zij heeft hem dan gevonden Al vlak vóór Herodes’ huis; Hij zag er zo deerlijk uit. Het kruis, dat moest hij dragen Naar Jeruzalem, vóór de stad Waar hij te lijden had. Wat droeg hij op zijn hoofd daar? Een scherpe doornenkroon; Het kruis, dat draagt Gods zoon. Daarom moet men bedenken, - Voor jong en oud dit geldt, - Dat het hemelrijk Lijdt, ja, geweld!
