Jesus im pace imperat |
Jesus rules with a peace |
IIn peace He reigns' that peace divine, |
Mein Jesus ist mein Fürst des Friedens, er regieret |
|

que omnem sensum superat, |
that passes all understanding, |
For mortal sense too high; |
in lauter Fried und Ruh, im Frieden, welchen spüret |
|
|
hunc semper mens desiderat |
the mind desires him at all times |
That peace for which my soul doth pine, |
ein jedes gläubig Herz, im Frieden, den die Schrift |
|
|
et illo frui properat. |

To which it longs to fly. |
nicht gnugsam rühmen kann, der alles übertrifft, |
|

O Jesu benignissime |
|
|
dahin mein Herze denkt, darauf sich alle Sinnen, |

te posci, o piissime: |
|
|
und was mehr in mir ist, nicht gnugsam freuen können. |

Da nobis locum venie

Ach dass ich doch nur bald an diesen Friedensort |

Christ to His Father is return'd, |
Mein liebster Jesus ist zum Vater wieder kommen |

regnum celeste subiit, |
entered the heavenly kingdom, |
And sits upon His throne ; |
in seiner Himmelfahrt und hat da eingenommen |
|
|
cor meum a me transiit, |
my heart went from me, |
For Him my panting heart hath yearn'd, |
das Reich der Herrlichkeit. Mein Herze weicht von mir, |
|

post Jesum simul abiit. |
it went away together with Jesus. |
And after Him is gone. |
es läuft ihm eilends nach, es sucht ihn mit Begier. |

And adoration be; |
und stündlich rufen an, bis dass er mir wird geben, |
|

O Jesu, grant us to ascend, |
was er mir hat verdient durch seines Kreuzes Pein; |

cum Christo celi sedibus. |

And reign in Heav'n with Thee! |
alsdann werd ich bei ihm und mit ihm fröhlich sein |
