by Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock (1724 - 1803)

Auferstehn, ja, auferstehn wirst du
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Auferstehn, ja, auferstehn wirst du, 
mein Staub, nach kurzer Ruh.  
Unsterblich's Leben       
wird, der dich schuf, dir geben!                  
[Halleluja!]1   
 
Wieder aufzublühn werd ich gesät.  
Der Herr der Ernte geht  
Und sammelt Garben, 
Uns ein, uns ein, die starben.    
Halleluja!    
 
Tag des Danks, der Freudenthränen Tag!    
Du, meines Gottes Tag!    
Wenn ich im Grabe 
Genug geschlummert habe,  
Erweckst du mich.  
 
Wie den Träumenden, wirds dann [uns]2 sein;     
Mit Jesu [gehn wir]3 ein   
Zu seinen Freuden!    
Der müden [Pilger]4 Leiden     
Sind dann nicht mehr!           
 
Ach, ins Allerheiligste führt mich 
mein Mittler dann;  lebt' ich 
Im Heiligthume,          
Zu seines Namens Ruhme!        
[Halleluja!]5
