Alsdenn so wirst du mich |
Therefore You shall |
Zu deiner Rechten stellen |
place me at Your right hand |
Und mir als deinem Kind |
and bestow on me, as Your child, |
Ein gnädig Urteil fällen, |
a gracious inheritance, |
Mich bringen zu der Lust, |
bringing me to joy, |
Wo deine Herrlichkeit |
where Your glory |
Ich werde schauen an |
I shall behold |
In alle Ewigkeit. |
in all eternity. |
(“O Jesu, meine Lust,” verse 4) |
