In delights everlasting. May the Lord be my friend,
145 Who came to earth and of old on the cross
Suffered and sorrowed for the sins of men.
He broke there our bonds and bought for us life
And a heavenly home. The hearts were now filled
With blessings and bliss, which once burned with remorse.
150 To the Son was his journey successful and joyful
And crowned with triumph, when he came with his troops,
With his gladsome guests into God’s kingdom,
The Almighty Judge’s, and brought joy to the angels,
