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! |
