Schlage doch, gewünschte Stunde,
Strike then, longed for hour,
Brich doch an, du schöner Tag!
dawn, beautiful day! |
|
Kommt, ihr Engel, auf mich zu,
Come,you angels, to me,
Öffnet mir die Himmelsauen,
open for me the fields of heaven,
Meinen Jesum bald zu schauen
so that I am able to behold my Jesus
In vergnügter Seelenruh'!
in contented peace of soul!
Ich begehr' von Herzensgrunde
I yearn from the bottom of my heart
Nur den letzten Zeigerschlag!
only for the very last tick of the clock! |
|
|
|
Note : in some texts the last line is: |
|
Nur den letzten Seigerschlag!
only for the last victorious stroke! |
