Komm süßer Tod, komm selge Ruh!
Komm, führe mich in Friede,
weil ich der Welt bin müde,

komm bald und führe mich,
drück mir die Augen zu
Komm selge Ruh!

Come, sweet death, come blessed rest!
Come, lead me to peace,

come, I wait for you,
come soon and lead me,
close my eyes shut
Come blessed rest!
