Du gabst, o Herr, mir Seyn und Leben, Und Deiner Lehre himmlisch Licht; Was kann dafür, ich Staub, Dir geben? Nur danken kann ich, mehr doch nicht. Wohl mir! Du willst für Deine Liebe Ja nichts, als wieder Lieb' allein; Und Liebe, dankerfüllte Liebe Soll meines Lebens Wonne seyn. Mich selbst, o Herr, mein Thun und Denken Und Leid und Freude opfr' ich Dir; Herr, nimm durch Deines Sohnes Opfer Dieß Herzensopfer auch von mir! -

Tu m'as donné, ô Seigneur, l'existence et la vie, Et la lumière céleste de ton enseignement ; Que puis-je, poussière que je suis, te donner ? Je peux seulement te remercier, rien de plus. Je suis heureux ! Pour ton amour tu ne veux Rien, seulement de l'amour en retour ; Et l'amour, l'amour reconnaissant, Sera le bonheur de ma vie. Moi-même, ô Seigneur, mes actes et mes pensées Et le chagrin et le joie, je te les offre ; Seigneur, par le sacrifice de ton fils accepte Le sacrifice de mon cœur aussi.
