- Chorale Text
German:
Herzlich tut mich verlangen
Nach einen selgen End,
Weil ich hier bin umfangen
Mit Trübsal und Elend.
Ich hab Lust abzuscheiden
Von dieser argen Welt,
Sehn mich nach ewgen Freuden,
O Jesu, komm nur bald!
--Christoph Knoll, 1605
English:
My heart is filled with longing
To pass away in peace;
For woes are round me thronging
And trials will not cease.
Oh fain would I be hasting,
From thee, dark world of gloom,
To gladness everlasting.
O Jesus! quickly come.
--tr. Catherine Winkworth
