Als Du auf Erden, Herr, geweilt, Hast alle Kranken du geheilt; Von jedem Weh Erlösung fand, Wen Du behrührt mit deiner Hand, Gestreift mit deines Kleides Rand. Der Blinde sehend vor Dir stund, Der Stumme that's dem Tauben kund. Du heiltest Alles, was da wund; Und zu dem Todten sprach dein Mund: „Steh' auf und wandle!” Herr! Meine Seele liegt im Staub, Ist krank und blind und stumm und taub; Sprießt auch ein Quell, der Heilung schafft, Ihn zu erreichen fehlt's an Kraft: O wär' ich frei aus Sündenhaft, O dürft' ich schaun Dein Angesicht, Darum das goldne Himmelslicht Viel strahlenhelle Glorien flicht, Und hören, wie Dein Mund mir spricht: „Steh' auf und wandle!”

While Thou upon the earth did dwell, All who were sick Thou madest well; From every woe were suffers healed, Calmed by Thy hand as low they kneeled, Or when they brushed Thy garment's hem. The blind man seeing doth stand forth The dumb doth speak, the deaf doth hear, Thou would heal all men of their wounds; And to the dead would speak these words: "Arise and wander!" Lord! Lord! In the dust my soul doth lie, 'Tis sick, and deaf, and dumb, and blind. E'en did one spring of healing flow, To it no longer could I go, Freedom from sin on me bestow, O, dared I look up to Thy face Upon which heaven's golden light Weaves beams of god like glorious grace I listen, and these words I hear, "Arise and wander!"
