Nicht nach Welt, nach Himmel nicht |
Not for the world, nor for heaven |
Meine Seele wünscht und sehnet, |
does my soul long and yearn, |
Jesum wünsch ich und sein Licht, |
I desire Jesus and His light, |
Der mich hat mit Gott versöhnet, |
Who has with God forgiven me, |
Der mich freiet vom Gericht, |
Who frees me from judgment, |
Meinen Jesum laß ich nicht. |
I will not abandon my Jesus. |
