Original text and translations

German.png German text

1. Komm, Jesu, komm, mein Leib ist müde.
Die Kraft verschwind't je mehr und mehr,
ich sehne mich nach deinem Friede;
der saure Weg wird mir zu schwer!

Komm, komm, ich will mich dir ergeben.
Du bist der rechte Weg, die Wahrheit und das Leben.

2. Drum schließ ich mich in deine Hände
und sage: Welt, zu guter Nacht!
Eilt gleich mein Lebenslauf zu Ende,
ist doch der Geist wohl angebracht.
Er soll bei seinem Schöpfer schweben,
weil Jesus ist und bleibt
der wahre Weg zum Leben.

1. Come, Jesus, come, my body is weary.
My strength fails more and more,
I long for your peace;
the bitter path becomes too hard.

Come, come, I will yield to You;
You are the right path, the truth and the life.

2. So I give myself into Your hands
and say: World, good night!
Just as my life’s course is hurrying towards its end,
the spirit is opportunely healthy.
It hovers next to its creator,
as Jesus is and remains
the true way to life.
