 Nun, ich halte mich bereit:
 Meines Leibes Sterblichkeit
 Auf der Erden abzulegen.
 Kommt, ihr Engel, kommt entgegen,
 Traget meine Seele hin,
 Daß ich bald bei Jesus bin!
 Ach, wie herzlich wünsch ich mir:
 war ich heute noch bei dir!

Aria
Maintenant je me tiens prêt :
La mortalité de mon corps
Va être déposée sur la terre.
Venez, anges, venez à ma rencontre,
Emportez mon âme

Ah, comme je voudrais sincèrement
Être aujourd'hui être près de toi !
