Translation of text:
Jesu, deine Passion
Jesus, your passion
Ist mir lauter Freude,
is for me pure joy,
Deine Wunden, Kron und Hohn
your wounds, crown and shame
Meines Herzens Weide;
are my heart’s pasture;
Meine Seel auf Rosen geht,
My soul walks on roses
Wenn ich dran gedenke,
if I think on this,
In dem Himmel eine Stätt
in heaven a place
Uns deswegen schenke.
for this reason grant to us.
