Requiescat a labore Doloroso et amore ! Unionem coelitum Flagitavit, Jam intravit Salvatoris aditum. In obscura tumbae cella Alma micat justo stella, Instar ipse siderum Refulgebit, Dum videbit In fulgore Dominum. Sanctae animae, favete, Consolare, Paraclete, Audim ? sonat gaudia, Cantilena Et amoena Angelorum cythara: Requiescat a labore Doloroso et amore ! Unionem coelitum Flagitavit, Jam intravit Salvatoris aditum.

Ruh' von schmerzensreichen Mühen Aus und heißem Liebesglühen; Der nach seligem Verein Trug Verlangen, Ist gegangen Zu des Heilands Wohnung ein. Dem Gerechten leuchten helle Sterne in des Grabes Zelle, Ihm, der selbst als Stern der Nacht Wird erscheinen, Wenn er seinen Herrn erschaut im Himmelspracht. Seid Fürsprecher, heil'ge Seelen, Heil'ger Geist, laß Trost nicht fehlen; Hörst du? Jubelsang erklingt, Feiertöne, [Drein]1 die schöne Engelsharfe [also singt]2: Ruh' von schmerzenreichen Mühen Aus und heißem Liebesglühen; Der nach seligem Verein Trug Verlangen, Ist gegangen Zu des Heilands Wohnung ein.
