Original text and translations

German.png German text

Welt, ade! ich bin dein müde,
ich will nach dem Himmel zu.
Da wird sein der rechte Friede
und die ew’ge stolze Ruh.
Welt, bei dir ist Kampf und Streit,
nichts, denn lauter Eitelkeit;
in dem Himmel allezeit
Friede, Freud und Seeligkeit.

World, farewell! I am weary of you,
I want to go to heaven.
There will I find true peace
and eternal glorious rest.
World, yours are war and strife,
nothing but utter vanity;
in heaven eternally
is peace, joy, and happiness.
