Aria A

Aria [Contralto]

Schlage doch, gewünschte Stunde,
Brich doch an, du schöner Tag!

Suona, ora tanto attesa,
Sorgi, bel giorno!

Kommt, ihr Engel, auf mich zu,
Öffnet mir die Himmelsauen,
Meinen Jesum bald zu schauen
In vergnügter Seelenruh'!
Ich begehr' von Herzensgrunde
Nur den letzten Zeigerschlag!

Venite, angeli, su di me,
Apritemi le praterie del cielo
Affinchè io possa presto contemplare il mio Gesù
In beata serenità d'animo!
Io anelo dal profondo del mio cuore
Soltanto all'ultimo rintocco!
