|---|---|
Die Armut, so Gott auf sich nimmt, |
The poverty that God takes upon Himself, |
Hat uns ein ewig Heil bestimmt, |
has destined an eternal salvation for us, |
Den Überfluß an Himmelsschätzen. |
an abundance of heavenly treasures. |
Sein menschlich Wesen machet euch |
His mortal being makes you |
Den Engelsherrlichkeiten gleich, |
like the glory of the angels, |
Euch zu der Engel Chor zu setzen. |
placing you among the angel choirs. |
