Engel freuten sich der Wonne,

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wer wird Zähren sanften Mitleids
nicht mit diesen Frommen weinen,
die dich, Herr, im Tode sahn?
 
Wer mit ihnen nicht verstummen,
wer mit ihnen nicht verstummen,
die dich, Herr, im Tode sahn.
 
Wer wird Tränen sanften Mitleids
nicht mit diesen Frommen weinen?
Wer mit ihnen nicht verstummen,
die dich, Herr, im Tode sahn?
 
Wer wird sich nicht innig freuen,
dass der Gottversöhner ihnen,
Himmel, deinen Vorschmack gab,
ach, dass Jesus Christus ihnen,
Himmel, deinen Vorschmack gab.
