English text

1. Ah, grant me, Lord, in death to find,
That death is swallowed up in thee,
While on thy loving breast reclined
I gasp for immortality,
Purchased by thine expiring groan,
And feel it in my heart made known.

2. Ah, Savior, now in me reveal
The eternal life thou dost bestow,
And when my mortal foe I feel,
I’ll trample on my mortal foe,
Into thine hands my spirit give,
As long as my Redeemer live.
