Es ist vollbracht! |
It is finished! |
O Trost vor die gekränkten Seelen! |
O comfort for the ailing soul! |
Die Trauernacht |
The night of sorrow |
Läßt nun die letzte Stunde zählen. |
now measures out its last hour. |
Der Held aus Juda siegt mit Macht |
The hero out of Judah conquers with might |
Und schließt den Kampf. |
and concludes the battle. |
Es ist vollbracht! |
It is finished! |
