Die Seele ruht in Jesu Händen,
wenn Erde diesen Leib bedeckt.
Ach ruft mich bald, ihr Sterbeglocken,
ich bin zum Sterben unerschrocken,
weil mich mein Jesus wieder weckt.
The soul rests in Jesus' hands,
when earth covers this body.
Oh, call me soon, you death bells,
I am unafraid to die,
because my Jesus wakes me up again.
