O quam gloriosum est regnum,
in quo cum Christo gaudent omnes Sancti!
Amicti stolis albis,
sequuntur Agnum, quocumque ierit.

O how glorious is the kingdom
in which all the saints rejoice with Christ,
clad in robes of white
they follow the Lamb wherever he goes.

O wie herrlich ist das Reich, in welchem mit
Christus alle Heiligen sich freuen; angetan
mit weißen Kleidern folgen sie dem Lamme,
wohin immer es geht.
