Original text and translations

Latin text Trans mare secessit Galilaeas Christus in oras: Et deserta petens populi comitante caterva, Restituit quorum aegrotos virtute superna. Transit in excelsum deserta per invia montem Cum sociis orans: tenera hic requievit in herba. English translation Christ traversed the sea, the land of Galilee his mark; He passed into the desert, a crowd attending him; With powers sent from heaven he healed those who were sick. Through the pathless wastes he came to a lofty mountain, Praying with his companions. There in soft grass he took his rest. German translation Über das Meer hinweg ging Christus ins Land Galilaea, Suchte die Wüste auf, begleitet von zahlreichem Volke, Heilte mit himmlischer Kraft, wer krank war unter demselben. Wanderte hin zu erhabenem Berg durch die weglose Wüste, Betend mit den Gefährten, hier ruht' er in weichem Grase.
