Schlußgesang
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Herr! Du hast mein Fleh'n vernommen,
Selig pocht's in meiner Brust;
In die Welt hinaus, ins Leben
Folgt mir nun des Himmels Lust.

Dort auch bist ja Du mir nahe,
Überall und jederzeit;
Aller Orten ist Dein Tempel,
Wo das Herz sich fromm Dir weih't.

Segne, Herr, mich und die meinen!
Segne unsern Lebensgang!
Alles unser Thun und Wirken
Sey ein frommer Lobgesang!

Confirmed with Johann Philipp Neumann, Gesänge zur Feyer des heiligen Opfers der Messe. Nebst einem Anhange enthaltend: das Gebeth des Herrn. Wien, bey Anton von Haykul, 1827, page 12.

Slotgezang
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Heer, Gij hebt mijn roep vernomen,
ik ervaar dat binnenin;
in de wereld en het leven
sterkt mij nu een diep’re zin.

Daar zult Gij mij nader blijven
overal en t’allen tijd’;
allerwegen is uw tempel,
waar het hart zich aan U wijdt!

Zegen, Heer, mij en de mijnen,
zegen onze levensgang:
dat ons aller doen en werken
voor U zij een lofgezang.
