Text:
Mein Herz, in dem die ganze Welt
Bei Jesu Leiden gleichfalls leidet,
Die Sonne sich in Trauer kleidet,
Der Vorhang reißt, der Fels zerfällt,
Die Erde bebt, die Gräber spalten,
Weil sie den Schöpfer sehn erkalten,
Was willst du deines Ortes tun?

Translation:
My heart—while the entire world
with Jesus’ suffering likewise suffers;
the sun drapes itself in mourning,
the curtain is rent, the crag crumbles,
the earth trembles, the graves split open,
since they behold the Creator growing cold;
—how shall you react from your depths?
