Liebster Jesu, mein Verlangen, |
Dearest Jesus, my desire, |
Sage mir, wo find ich dich? |
tell me, where can I find You? |
Soll ich dich so bald verlieren |
Shall I lose You so soon |
Und nicht ferner bei mir spüren? |
and no longer sense You near me? |
Ach! mein Hort, erfreue mich, |
Ah! My treasure, bring me joy, |
Laß dich höchst vergnügt umfangen. |
let me embrace You with greatest delight. |
