Ich lege mich in diese Wunden |
I lay myself on these wounds |
Als in den rechten Felsenstein; |
as though upon a true rock; |
Die sollen meine Ruhstatt sein. |
they shall be my resting place. |
In diese will ich mich im Glauben schwingen |
Upon them will I soar in faith |
Und drauf vergnügt und fröhlich singen: |
and therefore contented and happily sing: |
