2	Jesu, mein Hort und Erretter, Jesu, meine Zuversicht, Jesu, starker Schlangentreter, Jesu, meines Lebens Licht! Wie verlanget meinem Herzen, Jesulein, nach dir mit Schmerzen! Komm, ach komm, ich warte dein, Komm, o liebstes Jesulein!

6	Wohl mir, dass ich Jesum habe, O wie feste halt ich ihn, Dass er mir mein Herze labe, Wenn ich krank und traurig bin. Jesum hab ich, der mich liebet Und sich mir zu eigen gibet; Ach drum lass ich Jesum nicht, Wenn mir gleich mein Herze bricht.

16	Jesus bleibet meine Freude, Meines Herzens Trost und Saft, Jesus wehret allem Leide, Er ist meines Lebens Kraft, Meiner Augen Lust und Sonne, Meiner Seele Schatz und Wonne; Darum lass ich Jesum nicht Aus dem Herzen und Gesicht.
