If you are with me, I will go with joy
to die and to my rest'.
Ah, how happy my end would be,
your beautiful hands pressed
The faithful eyes on me.
English translation:
Be Thou with me, then I will go gladly
unto [my] death and to my rest.
Ah , what a pleasant end for me,
if your dear hands be the last I see,
closing shut my faithful eyes to rest!
