Lass, o Fürst der Cherubinen, |
Oh [Jesus,] prince of the cherubim, |
Dieser Helden hohe Schar |
Let the lofty host of these warriors |
Immerdar |

Deine Gläubigen bedienen; |
Serve your believers; |
Dass sie auf Elias Wagen |
So that they [the angels] may carry |
Sie zu dir gen Himmel tragen. |
Them [the believers] on Elijah’s chariot into heaven, to you. |
