Jesus dør, og Jorden ryster

Representative Text

1 Jesus dør, og Jorden ryster;
O mig Hjerte, skjælv du da!
Dør da hen, I Synde-Lyster,
Dør, og driver langt herfra!
Thi nu døde Gud og Mand
For den onde Lyst, som randt
Op hos os fra Adams Tide,
Deraf al den Dødsens Kvide!

2 Jesus, jeg din Død begræder,
For jeg dertil Aarsag gav,
I din Død jeg mig do glæder,
Ja mit Støv udi min Grav;
Thi mit Liv er i din Død,
Og, der den dit Hjerte brød,
Din den søde Naade-Kilde
Mig til Liv opbriste vilde.

3 O min Jesus, gid jeg kunde,
Jesus, gid jeg kunde dog
Dø med samme Ord i Munde,
Hvormed du din Afsked tog!
Bøi, o bøi dit Hoved ed
Til mig udi Dødsens Sved,
At min Sjæl dit Kys maa nyde,
Naar jeg skal min Aand udgyde!
