Original text and translations

German text 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.

English translation 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.
