As used in Bach Cantata 159 (verse 33 of original text!):
German:
Jesu, deine Passion
Ist mir lauter Freude,
Deine Wunden, Kron, und Hohn
Meines Herzens Weide.
Meine Seel auf Rosen geht,
Wenn ich dran gedenke,
In dem Himmel eine Stätt
Mir deswegen schenke!
--Paul Stockmann (1602-1636)
English:
Jesus, Your passion
is pure joy to me,
Your wounds, thorns and shame
my heart's pasture;
my soul walks on roses
when I think upon it;
grant a place in heaven
for me for its sake.
