O Gottes Lamm, dein Leben Hast du als Lösegeld Am Kreuz uns dargegeben; Du starbst für alle Welt! Wem das Verdienst hienieden Des Glaubens du verlieh'n, Nimm dort zum Lohn in Frieden Zu deinen Sel'gen hin. Die fromm in dir entschlafen, Laß frei von Qual und Pein, Laß frei von ew'gen Strafen Bei dir, o Jesu, sein! Laß gnädig sie empfinden, Herr, deines Leidens Kraft, Befreiung von den Sünden, Was dein Genuß verschafft!

O Lam van God, uw leven, Het vloeid’ aan 't kruishout heen, Als losgeld weggegeven; Gij stierft voor iedereen! Hem die gij hier beneden ‘t Geloven hebt verleend, Hij zij, als loon, in vrede Met ‘t zaal’genkoor vereend. Laat hen die vroom ontsliepen, Bevrijd van leed en pijn, Bevrijd van eeuw’ge straffen, Bij u, o Jezus, zijn! Laat van uw bitter lijden Hen voelen, Heer, de kracht, Bevrijding van de zonden, Zodat hen vreugde wacht!
