Komm, o Tod, du Schlafes Bruder ,Come,O death, you brother of sleep, Komm und führe mich nur fort; come and lead me away from here; Löse meines Schiffleins Ruder, release my little ship's rudder, Bringe mich an sichern Port! bring me to a safe harbour! Es mag, wer da will, dich scheuen, Those who will can shun you Du kannst mich vielmehr erfreuen; you can gladden me much more Denn durch dich komm ich herein since through you I shall come Zu dem schönsten Jesulein. To my most precious dear Jesus. |
