1 Jesu, großer Wunderstern,
der aus Jacob erschienen:
meine Seele will so gern
dir an deinem Feste dienen.
Nimm doch, nimm doch gnädig an,
was ich Armer schenken kann.

2 Nimm das Gold des Glandens hin,
wie ich's von dir selber habe
und damit beschenket bin;
so ist dir's die liebes Gabe.
Laß es auch bewährt und rein
in dem Kreuzes ofen sein.

3 Nimm den Weihrauch des Gebets,
laß ihn gnädig dir genügen;
Herz und Lippen sollen stets,
ihn zu opfern vor dir lieben.
Wann ich bete, nimm es auf
und sprich Ja und Amen drauf.

4 Nimm die Myrrhen bittrer Reu;
ach, mich schmerzet meine Sünde:
aber du bist fromm und treu,
daß ich Trost und Gnade finde,
und nun fröhlich sprechen kann,
Jesus nimmt mein Opfer an.
