Eilt, ihr angefochtnen Seelen, |
Hurry, you tempted souls, |
Geht aus euren Marterhöhlen, |
come out of your caves of torment, |
Eilt—Wohin?—nach Golgatha! |
hurry—where?—to Golgatha! |
Nehmet an des Glaubens Flügel, |
Take up the wings of faith, |
Flieht—Wohin?—zum Kreuzeshügel, |
fly—where?—to the Hill of the Cross, |
Eure Wohlfahrt blüht allda! |
Your salvation blooms there! |
Continuo col bassono grosso (NBA)
