O Savior, tear open the heavens,
flow down to us from heaven above;
tear off heaven’s gate and door,
tear off every lock and bar.
O clear sun, thou fair star,
we greatly desire to behold thee.
O sun, rise, for without thy light
we are all in darkness.

O Heiland, reiß die Himmel auf,
Herab, herab, vom Himmel lauf!
Reiß ab vom Himmel Tor und Tür,
Reiß ab, wo Schloss und Riegel für!

O klare Sonn’, du schöner Stern,
Dich wollten wir anschauen gern.
O Sonn’, geh auf, ohn’ deinen Schein
In Finsternis wir alle sein.

O Savior, tear open the heavens,
flow down to us from heaven above;
tear off heaven’s gate and door,
tear off every lock and bar.

O clear sun, thou fair star,
we greatly desire to behold thee.
O sun, rise, for without thy light
we are all in darkness.
