Now rejoice, dear Christians, and let us happily jump, that we, consoled and all in
one, sing with joy and love.
What God has turned to us and His sweet miracle God has given it to me.
I was caught by the devil, in death I was lost.
My sin tormented me night and day, in it I was born.
I always fell deeper, there was no good in life, sin possessed me.
My good works were worthless, it was lost with Him.
The free will hated God's judgment, He died for the good.
The fear drove me to despair, that nothing remained with me to die.
I had to sink to hell.
Since God mourns in eternity my misery, He thought of His mercy He wanted to help
me, He turned to me His Father's heart.
It was with Him, it was no joke, He let it cost His best.
He spoke to His Son of Life, The time has come to warn you, take up the crown of my
heart, and be the salvation in Arnen, and help Him out of sin.
Take the bitter death for Him and let Him live with you.
The Son kept the Father obedient, He came to me on earth, pure and tender
from a virgin.
He wanted to be my brother, secretly He led His power, He went in my poor form,
He wanted to catch the devil.
He spoke to me, hold on to me, you shall succeed now.
I give myself entirely for you, I want to ring for you.
For I am yours and you are mine, and wherever I stay, you shall be there,
and the enemy shall not depart.
He will pour out my blood, to steal my life.
I give myself entirely for you, hold on to me with firm faith,
the death will swallow my life, my innocence will bear your sin,
then you shall be blessed.
For heaven to my Father I drive from this life, there I want to be your master,
I want to give you the spirit, which shall comfort you in the gloom,
and teach you to recognize me, and to suffer in the truth.
What I have done and taught, you shall do and learn, so that the kingdom of God may
be honored, to praise and to glorify.
And hold on to the heart of man, from it the noble treasure will flow,
I leave this to you for the last time.
