Glück und Segen sind bereit, |
Happiness and blessing are prepared |
Die geweihte Schar zu krönen. |
To crown [to eternal life] the consecrated throng. |
Jesus bringt die güldne Zeit, |
Jesus brings the golden age [of God’s grace] |
Welche sich zu ihm gewöhnen. |
To those who orient themselves to him. |
