SERAPH
 Erzittre, Erde, Jehova's Sohn liegt hier!
 sein Antlitz tief in Staub gedrückt,
 vom Vater ganz verlassen,
 und leidet unnennbare Qual.
 Der Gütige. Er ist bereit,
 den martervollsten Tod zu sterben,
 damit die Menschen, die er liebt,
 vom Tode auferstehen und ewig leben!

Arie

SERAPH
 Preist des Erlösers Güte,
 preist, Menschen, seine Huld!
 Er stirbt für euch aus Liebe,
 sein Blut tilgt eure Schuld.

Chor

SERAPH, CHOR DER ENGEL
 O Heil euch, ihr Erlösten,
 euch winket Seligkeit,
 wenn ihr getreu in Liebe,
 in Glaub' und Hoffnung seid.
 Doch weh! die frech entehren
 das Blut, das für sie floss,
 sie trifft der Fluch des Richters,
 Verdammung ist ihr Los!
