Our translations: ENG

Geh' auf, [o Gnadensonn]¹, und offenbare dich,
[Gieb]² einen hellen Blick aus deinem Liebesherzen.
Ich bin noch blind an dir; komm, komm, erleuchte mich;
Verkläre dich in mir, zünd an des Glaubens Kerzen,
Und laß, o Lieb, in dir von allen meinen Sünden
Mich Rettung, Heil und Schutz, und Seelenweide finden.

Easter

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Arise, [oh Sun of Grace]¹, and reveal Thyself;
From Thy heart of love, send forth a bright glance!
I am still blinded by Thee; come, come and illuminate me!
Glorify Thyself within me, and light the candles of belief [in me]!
Let me in Thee, oh Love, find deliverance, salvation and protection
From all my sins, and [find] pasture for my soul.
