Starkes Lieben,
Das dich, großer Gottessohn,
Von dem Thron
Deiner Herrlichkeit getrieben,
Dass du dich zum Heil der Welt
Als ein Opfer vorgestellt,
Dass du dich mit Blut verschrieben. |

Mighty love
by which you, great Son of God,
from the throne
of your glory were driven
so that for the salvation of the world
you presented yourself as a sacrifice
and with blood you signed away yourself. |

Jesu, deine Passion
Ist mir lauter Freude,
Deine Wunden, Kron und Hohn
Meines Herzens Weide;
Meine Seel auf Rosen geht,
Wenn ich dran gedenke,
In dem Himmel eine Stätt
Uns deswegen schenke. |

Jesus, your passion
is for me pure joy,
your wounds, crown and shame
are my heart's pasture;
My soul walks on roses
if I think on this,
in heaven a place
for this reason grant to us. |
