Bass: Heaven open, world now tremble
Fall in with my sounds of grief,
Soprano: Jesus, this thy passion
Bass:Witness my distress and fear,
Which I, Jesus, with thee suffer!
Is my purest pleasure,
Yea, I reckon all thy suff'ring,
O thou smitten Son of God,
Soprano: These thy wounds, thy crown and scorn
Bass:I prefer that Golgotha
To this haughty earthly structure.
Soprano: Are my heart's true pasture.
Bass:If upon the cross's journey
These thy thorns are sown abroad,
Soprano: Yet my soul on roses walks,
Bass:Since I in contented bliss
May within thy wounds sink deeply,
When I this consider;
I'll behold as I lie dying,
When a raging tempest blows,
Soprano: There in heaven an abode
Bass:This same place to which I have
Daily through belief been striving.
Therefore may'st thou give me!
