Dir steht der Keuschheits-Thron schon offen, Jesu Gottes Sohn, Komm an, Du zweigestammter Held, geh muthig durch dies Thal der Welt. 5 Du nahmest Erd-wärts Deinen Lauf, und stiegst auch wieder Himmel-auf: Dein Abfahrt war zum Höllenthal; die Rückfahrt in den Sternen-saal. 6 O höchster Fürst, dem Vater gleich, besieg hier dieses Fleisches Reich, denn unsers siechen Leibes Haft sehnt sich nach Deiner Himmelskraft. 7 Es glänzet Deiner Krippen Strahl, ein Licht leucht't durch dies finst're Thal, es giebt die Nacht so hellen Schein, der da wird unverlöschlich sein.
